Nascar Winston Cup Series points leader Tony Stewart posts fastest lap during testing at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

MIAMI, FL (11/4/02) -NASCAR Winston Cup points leader Tony Stewart picked up today where Mark Martin left off last week as testing continued for Ford Championship Weekend, November 14-17 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. After Martin posted the quickest lap (36.22 seconds/149.089 mph) during testing last Monday and Tuesday, it was Stewart who recorded the best trip (36.18 seconds/149.354 mph) around the 1.5-mile track on Monday.
