A last-place finish in Heat 2 (13th) was the worst of his SRX career as he fell 31 points behind Labonte for the SRX title. Stewart had himself a miserable night, declining to be interviewed after losing 11 total positions in all three races combined. As the Ind圜ar star, turning his first SRX laps, jumped out and won the first heat, Labonte stood back and watched his line while finishing a strong third. Labonte's Nashville strategy was to watch and learn from a surprising source: Josef Newgarden. How did he move from weekly contender to dominant winner against the most talented field in SRX history? His mastery of Nashville leads off five takeaways from Week 4 of this six-week All-Star Series on CBS. It's the most success he's experienced in SRX, propelling him into the point lead with just two races left to go in 2022. Labonte has finally taken a big step these past two weeks, winning a Heat race at Stafford Motor Speedway before commanding the Main Event at the Nashville Fairgrounds. There's something to be said for keeping your nose clean in a series marked by aggression and hard competition. The stock car Hall of Famer was known for racing smart, and his seven top-5 finishes in SRX Main Events are a series record. Since SRX's debut, Bobby Labonte has produced the type of racing that once earned him a NASCAR Cup Series Championship.
