Last night, Tony Stewart took home the $1,000,000 prize as the winner of the Sprint All-Star Race. The cash was not the only reason this was a big win for Tony. This was Tony's first victory in his new car, which he is partial owner of, and the first victory for Stewart-Haas racing. Even though this race did not count in the points standings, this is still a big accomplishment and morale boost for the whole team. Other stories worth mentioning that came from the All-Star Race is that Sam Hornish Jr. and Jamie McMurray raced their ways into the All-Star Race by finishing 1st and 2nd in the shoot-out. Perhaps the biggest side story was the winner of the fan vote,18-year-old rookie Joey Logano, who has improved majorly since the beginning of the season. joey definitely held his own during the All-Star Race, having a few opportunities to make big moves. Joey ended up finishing 8th out of 21 in this race. Not bad at all.
