DOVER, Del. _ Ryan Newman probably didn't have the strongest car in the field for Sunday's MBNA Armed Forces Family 400 at Dover International Speedway. No matter.
Newman was still able to win the NASCAR Winston Cup race, holding off Jeff Gordon, Bobby Labonte and a very fast and apparently very irritated Tony Stewart.
Points leader Matt Kenseth held on to his lead, finishing seventh. He has 1,945 points, well ahead of second-place Dale Earnhardt Jr. (1,774), who was 11th Sunday.
Stewart was dominating the race, leading for 67 laps before he pitted on Lap 138. But Stewart's Chevrolet stopped inches outside his pit box, and he was penalized one lap by NASCAR.
A lap down and in 32nd place, Stewart almost came all the way back.
He got as high as high as third, but fell to fourth after a restart on Lap 394.
