Tony Stewart just pulled off a Babe Ruth. Or was it a Joe Namath? #NASCAR

    If you watched the entire Chase like I did, and you're a bit of a prognosticator like I am, you would've likely predicted, as I did, that Carl Edwards was going to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase title.

    And you'd have been wrong.

    When Tony Stewart said "Carl Edwards better not sleep the next 3 weeks", he threw down the gauntlet, the rarest of challenges, the one that everyone knows are impossible to follow thru with.

    Or are they?

    This is the stuff of legend. I didn't think team 14 had the moxie to do it. They didn't race all that well in the regular season, the past would eventually catch up to them, right?

    This is what made Babe Ruth a name cemented in history. I watched enough NFL films to know about Joe Namath and his infamous guarantee. Yes, I saw the ESPN special on the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey team, the one that had no chance against the menacing expert Russians.

    What Tony Stewart did this Chase was all that, and much more. Winning 5 Chase races? Most of the better drivers struggle for just 1 in the regular season! Winning a tiebreaker? That's doing it by a hair on your chinny chin-chin.

    This is historic, will not likely ever happen again.
