Tony Stewart is the only driver to date to complete the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the lead lap on the same day. But this was not the only time Stewart attempted this 1,100 mile challenge. Stewart, in fact, has attempted the challenge twice, in 1999 and in 2001. In 1999 Stewart placed ninth completing 196/200 laps in the Indy 500, and placed 4th in the Coca-Cola 600. Then in 2001, Stewart made history by completing all laps and placing 6th in the Indy 500 and 3rd in the Coca-Cola 600.
