Video: Nascar racer pushed to victory, by runner up

Updated



This weekend's Nascar race at Iowa produced a slightly strange, and fortunate, victory for Roush Fenway Racing driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

His car had made it almost the whole 250 laps around the Iowa Speedway track without any major incident, and was leading into the final corner when his engine blew. At this point he must have pictured his day ending in disaster and a slow slide down the field as he relied on momentum alone to carry him across the line.
