Stewart wins at Daytona after last-lap wreck

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Kyle Busch braced himself for a four-lap "trophy dash" around Daytona International Speedway, intent on snatching a win away from Tony Stewart.

Busch thought he mapped out the strategy to take him to Victory Lane.

Instead, he ended the race in the infield care center after a vicious last-lap accident sent him flying into the wall as Stewart skirted by for a somber win.

"That's not the way I wanted to do it," Stewart said after his Saturday night win gave him his third victory in five years in Daytona's summer race.
