10. Daytona, July 2005

He had already won the race before at Sonoma, but when the series rolled into Daytona for the July event Stewart was easily the favorite to win the race. He had dominated the 500 back in February, leading 107 of 200 laps only to finish seventh. Yet when all was said and done in the Pepsi 400, Stewart led an astounding 151 of 160 laps to not only take the win, but outright dominate the night.

He started a short-lived victory celebration of climbing the fence this night, although he stopped after putting on a few pounds. He would go on to win the NEXTEL Cup championship that year by 35 points over Greg Biffle, his second title win in four years.
