Tony Stewart ends drought with victory at Dover

Tony Stewart made a late outside pass on Juan Pablo Montoya and held on Sunday at Dover (Del.) International Speedway to end a winless streak at 30 races.

Stewart hadn’t even had a top-five finish this season and was stuck in 20th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points standings. He took the lead with the pass with three laps left in the 400-mile race.

Seven-time Dover winner Jimmie Johnson appeared to have the car to beat but jumped a restart and had to serve a pass-through penalty. Johnson argued over the radio and stayed on the track before he finally hit pit road.

With Johnson out of the picture, Montoya and Stewart battled for the lead the rest of the race.

Jeff Gordon was third, followed by Kyle Busch.

Simon Pagenaud won the crash-filled Detroit Grand Prix for his first IndyCar victory.

The Frenchman finished 5.6 seconds in front of James Jakes in the second of two races on the 2.36-mile Belle Isle street course.

Mike Conway, who won Saturday’s race with only three cautions, finished third.

Shawn Langdon won the NHRA Summernationals for his third top-fuel victory of the season, beating teammate Khalid alBalooshi in the final at Englishtown, N.J.

Matt Hagan topped the funny car field to take the season points lead, Mike Edwards raced to his third pro stock victory of the year, and Michael Ray won in pro stock motorcycle.

Pac-12 school presidents will take no further action after an independent review found the conference properly handled concerns about officiating during its conference tournament.

A report by Indianapolis-based law firm Ice Miller LLP said the Pac-12 was correct in ruling coordinator of officiating Ed Rush was not serious when he offered bounties to any official who disciplined Arizona Coach Sean Miller during the Pac-12 tournament in March.

Ice Miller also supported Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott’s decision to fine Miller $25,000 for his actions during and after Arizona’s semifinal against UCLA, and found the game was officiated with integrity and no favoritism toward either team.

The Pac-12 CEO Group said it will use the report to guide its men’s basketball officiating program and policies.
