Tony Stewart has earned his first Sprint Cup victory since 2013.

Stewart ended an 84-race losing streak by holding off Denny Hamlin over the final lap of Sunday's event at Sonoma Raceway. The 45-year-old Stewart took the lead on fuel strategy during a caution with 24 laps to go and held on after another yellow flag stalled the race. The final restart came with 14 laps remaining before he fought off a trio of Toyota drivers for his third career victory at Sonoma.

Joey Logano was third, followed by pole-sitter Carl Edwards and Martin Truex Jr.
