Tony Stewart was crowned NASCAR's champion - on a tiebreak -- after winning the Ford 400 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday.
The victory for Stewart meant he and Carl Edwards finished level on points for the season, but Stewart wins the Sprint Cup thanks to winning more races (5-0) in the season-ending Chase playoffs.
ALSO: Stewart became the first driver/owner to win a championship since Alan Kulwicki accomplished the feat in 1992.
Stewart claimed his third title by becoming the first driver to clinch the championship by winning the season finale.
