Stewart strong again, but still without win in '05
Saturday when he said his Chevrolet might challenge for the win Sunday at Michigan.
But for the third time this season, Stewart led the most laps and came up frustrated in the end -- this time 1.675 seconds behind Greg Biffle's Ford, which was dominant when it counted.
Stewart's loss extended his winless streak to 29 races -- last August at Watkins Glen. The Nextel Cup Series' next stop is Infineon Raceway, another road course at which Stewart has won.
Despite the fact that he gained four spots in the standings -- from 10th to sixth, 311 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson -- Stewart found little solace.
"We had a good car [Sunday] -- I guess we need to figure out how to lead the right lap," Stewart said. "It's frustrating for us as a team. We had a really good car all day and it's like, what do we have to do to get in Victory Lane this season?
