5. Nationwide Series, Daytona, 2005-06, 2008-11, 2013

What became the site of his first career Busch Series win in 2005 quickly became a winning tradition for Stewart, as he would go on to win the Busch/Nationwide Series season opener at Daytona seven times between 2005 and 2013. The first two wins were in the Kevin Harvick Inc. No. 33 Chevy, but in 2008 he piloted a Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota to victory over teammate Kyle Busch.

In 2009 he won in a one-off start for Rick Hendrick, but in 2010 and 2011 he won twice more with KHI. His final Nationwide Series win in the event came in 2013 in a Richard Childress Racing entry. His seven event wins ties him with Dale Earnhardt Sr. for most wins in the event.
