Tony Stewart finished second for the second week in a row at Watkins Glen International.

Stewart was unable to catch teammate Kyle Busch to collect his first victory since winning at the track a year ago. Overall Stewart is pleased with Sunday’s outcome, which lit up a somewhat cloudy season for the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing team.

“I was pretty happy with it and it was pretty uneventful from our side," Stewart said of the race. "We didn’t have any big dramas during the race. The red there at the end kind of killed us a little bit. I’m really proud of the whole organization."

Stewart notes that it would have been hard to beat Busch, given that he did not make a single mistake throughout the race. Stewart says he can’t complain.

"No complaints leaving. I thought that if we ever could have gotten track position on Kyle that we might have been able to do something. I think if we would have been leading when the red flag came out and our balance was like it was at the end then he would have gotten by us anyway. I can’t be disappointed with a second-place run to a teammate like that. He’s on fire this year. When you have a run like that - it’s hard to be upset with it.”

Although Stewart is disappointed that he did not win, he has to look on the bright side of things. He clarified that the team has been getting “back on track” and that a season will not be determined off of winning one race.

"It’s hard to be disappointed with that because the good thing is that we’re back on track and it’s not all about wins," he said. "There’s a bigger prize at the end of the year than an individual race. The last three weeks have been good for us and the last two weeks to finish in the top-two, there’s a lot of guys that would love to have two weeks in a row where they could say they finished second.
