Quote :: Stewart looking to be the first owner-driver winner since Rudd: #14-Tony Stewart's win in the All-Star Race doesn't go down as an official win for Stewart-Haas Racing, so the team will still be looking for its first points win Sunday night. Stewart will also look to do something that hasn't been done in this millennium: win as an owner-driver. No owner-driver has won a points race since Ricky Rudd in the Tide Ride back in 1998. The last to do it before him was Geoffrey Bodine in 1996, when the upstate New York driver fittingly won at Watkins Glen. Bodine was also the only other owner-driver to win the All-Star race.

Most wins as owner-driver since 1990
Driver -- Wins -- Last Win
Ricky Rudd -- 6 -- 1998
Darrell Waltrip -- 5 -- 1992
Geoffrey Bodine -- 4 -- 1996
Alan Kulwicki -- 4 -- 1992

Ricky Rudd -- 6 -- 1998 Very Happy

I hope no one breaks Ricky's record.
