"This car was awesome all night," Stewart said. "I was just riding around behind Gardner and I knew that I was faster, but I didn't want to abuse the tyres.
"I saw lap traffic coming and I knew where we were stronger than he was. The timing worked out right and I caught him at the spot where we were strong."
