DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Tony Stewart drove his way into Victory Lane at Daytona -- one week earlier than he hoped for.
Stewart won the exhibition Budweiser Shootout on Saturday night, setting himself up as a top contender to win the season-opening Daytona 500. That's the last of the NASCAR crown jewels that Stewart wants, and he reported to Speedweeks intent on adding it to his resume this year.

Stewart nudged Kyle Busch out of the lead with eight laps to go, then calmly drove to his third victory in the all-star event when runner-up David Gilliland never challenged.
As Stewart closed in on the finish line, Dale Earnhardt Jr. ran into the back of Elliott Sadler to start a four-car pileup far from the leaders that collected defending race winner Denny Hamlin and Greg Biffle.
Toyota, making its Nextel Cup debut, had two cars in the field as the Japanese automaker made its long-awaited debut. But neither Brian Vickers or Dale Jarrett ever contended for the win.
Jarrett started on the pole in his new Camry, but quickly fell to the back of the field and finished 18th out of 21 cars. Vickers briefly drove his new Team Red Bull Toyota to the front and paced the field for two laps, but faded and wound up eighth.
Stewart, meanwhile, seemed fairly confident he'll be a contender in the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18. Although he's now won 10 times in different events at Daytona -- including two wins in the summer Nextel Cup event here -- he's only come close to winning the 500 once, finishing second in 2004.
Asked if he can carry anything over from this Shootout to the "Super Bowl of Racing," Stewart didn't flinch.
"Absolutely," he said, promising his Chevrolet for the big event would be stout.
"The other one's better, believe it or not," he said. "Everyone says that. Nobody brings their best car to the Shootout."
Stewart, the two-time Nextel Cup champion, has been on a tremendous roll since missing out on NASCAR's title hunt this past September. Despite being shut out of the Chase, he won three of the final 10 races in an outstanding close to an otherwise mediocre season.
Then he took a brief December break before jumping into a sprint car -- his first love -- and dominating at the grassroots level. He won two January events, including the prestigious Chili Bowl, a sprint race that Stewart treasures as much as he does his NASCAR titles.
It's given Stewart momentum at the start of the 2007 season, and he'll try to carry it for one more week and into the 500.
