Tony Stewart starts of the Chase in good form by winning at Chicago: #14 Tony Stewart won the rain delayed “GEICO 400” Sprint Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway for his 40th career win and 1st of the season.
The race came down to fuel mileage with several chase drivers running out on the last lap. #29 Kevin Harvick finished 2nd followed by #88 Dale Earnhardt, Jr., #99 Carl Edwards, #2 Brad Keselowski, #22 Kurt Busch, #33 Clint Bowyer, #39 Ryan Newman, #5 Mark Martin, and #48 Jimmie Johnson. Pole-sitter #17 Matt Kenseth ran out of gas on the last lap and finished 21st after being penalized for receiving a push from another car.
#29 Kevin Harvick now leads the points by 7 over #14 Tony Stewart.

I'm Thinking Jimmie Johnson needs to shave?
