Tony Stewart put his Chevrolet in victory lane Sunday by winning the Allstate 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Stewart and Kevin Harvick battled fender to fender over the last 20 laps of the race. Stewart took command with 10 laps remaining.

The Allstate 400 was won on the track and not in the pits, as has happened most recent Nextel Cup races.

Perhaps the surprise of the day was the second-place finish of veteran driver Juan Pablo Montoya. The Columbian, driving for Chip Ganassi, made his mark in the racing game in the open-wheel cars. He captured the Indianapolis 500 as a rookie several years ago.

Dave Blaney had a good day, finishing ninth and picking up more than $200,000 for his efforts.

Jeff Gordon finished third, followed by Kyle Busch and pole sitter Reed Sorenson.

With just six races remaining before the final field of 12 cars is set for the Cup chase Gordon continues to dominate the points standings. Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, Jeff Burton and Tony Stewart are in the top five and almost guaranteed a spot in the chase. Dale Earnhart Jr. is 12th in the standings and in danger of being eliminated.
