The hope of Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart to repeat is very much alive.
Stewart, 41, is in excellent position.
His victory in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway was his third of the sea-son. He ranks fifth in the point standings, but once the Chase begins on Sept. 16, that ranking won't matter as long as Stewart remains in the top 10. At the beginning of the Chase, which consists of the season's final 10 races, bonus points are allotted on the basis of victories. At the moment, Stewart and Brad Keselowski are tied with three.
Keselowski's hold on the top 10 is more tenu-
Tony Stewart Poised for Title Runous. He ranks ninth. The three victories almost surely will put him in the Chase, but if Kesel-owski has to rely on one of the two wild-card slots, he won't get the bonus points.
In other words, Stewart is looking great."Everybody has a shot to win these things
(meaning restrictor-plate races at Daytona) and to run in the top five when they get here," Stew-art said. "It's just a matter of getting that luck on your side and being at the right place at the right time and having that opportunity."
Will Stewart be an intimidating presence in the Chase? Oh, yeah. A year ago he won half the 10 races. He'll be the shark in the bay when NASCAR's championship process com-mences.
In Daytona Beach, Stewart posted the sec-ond-best qualifying speed, but it was disallowed when inspection revealed an air hose that had allegedly come loose during the run. As a result, Stewart started 42nd in a 43-car field. Halfway through the race, he was running 30th, more than a half lap behind. A caution flag allowed him to catch up when the field bunched up for the next restart.
The rest, as they say, is history. Given a reprieve from the specter of being lapped, Stewart raced to the front, and it was a good thing. In the final 10 laps, two huge crashes occurred.
"The great thing about it," Stewart said, "is that 43 cars all have the same shot at winning the race.
"But that's also part of what makes it frustrating."

• On July 31, 1715, a hurricane strikes the east coast of Florida, sinking 10 Spanish treasure ships carrying tons of gold and silver coins and killing nearly 1,000 people. About 80 percent of the treasures was recovered within a year, but the rest remained lost until the 1960s.
• On Aug. 5, 1858, the first telegraph line across the Atlantic Ocean is completed. Four British and American vessels met in mid-ocean and successfully laid 2,000 miles of cable, often at a depth of more than 2 miles.
• On Aug. 3, 1861, the last entry of Charles Dickens' serialized novel "Great Expectations" is published. Dickens' father was thrown in debtors' prison in 1824, and 12-year-old Charles was sent to work in a factory. The miserable treatment of children and the institution of the debtors' jail became topics of several of Dickens' novels.
• On Aug. 2, 1876, "Wild Bill" Hickok, one of the greatest gunfighters of the American West, is murdered in Deadwood, S.D. Hickok was playing cards with his back to the saloon door when a young gunslinger named Jack McCall walked into the saloon, approached Hickok from behind, and shot him in the back of the head.

I imagine the phonies and wannabes are chuck-ling up their sleeves right now. No longer do they have to worry (if they ever did) about getting caught lying about their alleged military service or medals earned. The Supreme Court has deemed that it’s just hunky-dory to lie about those things, and they struck down the Stolen Valor Act.
The Stolen Valor Act made it a crime for people to say they’d earned a medal in the military or that they’d served when they hadn’t. Didn’t mat-ter whether the lie was put in writing or just stated to one or more people -- it was a crime under the Act.
High Court Sides With Phony Heroes
The Supremes bent over backward, it appears, to find reasons to overturn the Act. They chose to lean heavily on the “free speech” aspect, deciding that it was an infringement, and that it’s just fine to lie and claim earned medals and service.
There is one clause in the court decision that leaves some slightly open doors: that it’s possible “to achieve the Government’s objective in less burdensome ways.”
The way I read this, if a bill can be drafted that couches the problem in a slightly different way, perhaps the same objective can be reached: nailing those who lie about medals or service.
If you agree, pick up the phone and call your congressional representatives. With enough pres-sure, someone somewhere will draft another ver-sion of the Act.
If you need incentive, Google the images of “Xavier Alvarez” and take a look at him wearing a chest full of medals he didn’t earn. Read about his claims to a room full of people that he was a 25-year Marine Corps veteran, a helicopter pilot who rescued POWs in Vietnam and earned the
Congressional Medal of Honor.He never even served.
