In 2021, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen headed into the season finale race, dead even on points. Eventually, Verstappen prevailed courtesy of a controversial finish, but that’s another story. However, in 2011, NASCAR faced a similar situation in terms of points.
Around the time, the battle was between Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards for the title. Ahead of the race, Stewart firmly declared that he would ‘wreck his mom’ if it meant that he would win.
Carl Edwards had the advantage with pole position, and Stewart was all the way down in 15th. When the race waved off, Stewart began his epic comeback. At one point, he pulled off an adroit move, going four-wide and diving down the inside and won the race eventually.
