Show Sunday. Ma Stewart holds o SPORTS FANS! RICHMOND, Va. (AP) Tony Stewart won stirring duels with Ricky Rudd, jtusty, Wallace and Jeff Gordon, taking the lead with 39 laps to go Saturday night and winning the Pontiac Excitement 400, his first this year. Stewart had a lead of more than a second until Dave Blaney hit the wall in turns 3 and 4 with seven laps to go, bringing out the eighth caution, setting up victory the rivals for a suspenseful run for the finish. The crowd roared its approval when NASCAR then the event with five to go so safety crews could make sure the track was clean and safe, then used two caution laps to prepare for the final sprint. That left two laps of green-fla- g racing, and when the green flew, so did Stewart, Gordon and Wallace. But when Wallace pulled even with Gordon and ran him up the banking in turn 2, it gave Stewart clear sailred-flagg- ing. "I thought NASCAR was going to take it away from me," Stewart said of the final restart. "I sat there and thought about every restart in the book and every restart I had in 23 years and it worked." Gordon finished second, followed by Wallace, and the two rivals bumped several times on the cool down lap, in the same spot where Wallace ran Gordon into the wall several years ago, costing him a possible victory. "I just got too loose there at the very end," Wallace quipped about the bumping duel with Gordon. "Not much I could do about that." Gordon was livid when he confronted Wallace after " "" " the battle. 7" "He body-slamme- me d pretty good and I got pretty mad at him," Gordon said after collecting himself. "There was no reason for him to slam me." The red flag proved very costly for points leader Dale Jarrett, whose car ran out of gas during the delay and had to be pushed around the track to his pits. Jarrett e went from eighth to a finish. Jarrett's lead in the standings fell from 66 to 14 over Gordon. Stewart, who had a NASCAR Winston Cup series-higsix victories last year, but had not won since October, won for the 10th time. CET YOU DIDN'T KNOW BROUGHT v..Hark I hcHer.ld conn. I'rmo.
