Stewart wins two at Fort Wayne:

USAC Triple Crown winner Tony Stewart did what many of the sellout crowd wanted “ win Saturday night at the Ft. Wayne Memorial Coliseum. And just like he did in Friday’s campaign, he battled from midpack to take the point early. On Saturday, he started ninth, one spot behind where he was Friday, but it took him one less lap to get to the front. He stayed in eighth after the first lap, then picked off four cars on the second and was past Rich Corson “ whom he took the lead from Friday “ on Lap 7 on the inside of Turn 2 and ran away.(USAC Racing site)(1-2-2007)
