TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Dale Jarrett ended a 98-race drought by winning at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, while Tony Stewart reclaimed his spot on top of the Nextel Cup standings and Jimmie Johnson's reputation and championship hopes were damaged.

Jarrett used a three-wide pass to challenge Stewart for the lead on the final lap of a three-lap overtime shootout, then passed Stewart on the backstretch in the UAW-Ford 500 for his first victory since 2003 at the now-defunct North Carolina Speedway.

Kyle Petty spun to bring out a caution before the leaders crossed the finish line, freezing the field. NASCAR then had to review tape to establish a final finishing order.

Stewart finished second, Matt Kenseth was third and Newman fourth. The finish put Stewart back on top of the Chase for the championship leaderboard after the third of 10 races.

He holds a four-point advantage over Newman -- who originally thought he was the new points leader -- after a race that shuffled the Chase standings.  More
