It's still not quite the rush-hour commute, but racing on road courses looks a little more like what most of us do every day, albeit about three times as fast. Tony Stewart won a record fifth time on the road course at Watkins Glen Monday, and that had some in SportsNation wondering about where this particular challenge fits in the NASCAR championship picture and in determining the full extent of a driver's legacy.
