INDIANAPOLIS - Tony Stewart scored his second career victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, dominating at the track that caused him a decade of heartache and once even threatened his career.

Stewart led a race-high 66 of the 160 laps, but was passed by 2003 winner Kevin Harvick on a restart with 20 to go. The two-time series champion closed onto Harvick's bumper and powered alongside of him with 10 laps to go. Stewart held steady, surged into the lead, then seemingly put his orange No. 20 on cruise control for the final 25 miles.

Juan Pablo Montoya finished second _ his best showing on an oval since leaving Formula One last summer. Jeff Gordon, the series points leader and four-time Brickyard winner, was third and was followed by Kyle Busch, pole-sitter Reed Sorenson and Mark Martin. Harvick faded all the way to seventh after Stewart's race-winning pass.

CYCLING

PARIS - Alberto Contador won the doping-scarred Tour de France, a new, young and unlikely winner for the threeweek race shaken to its core by scandals.

The 24-year-old rider for the American Discovery Channel team was the youngest champion since Jan Ullrich of Germany in 1997. He also was the first Spaniard to win the crown since the last of Miguel Indurain's five titles in 1995.

His margin of victory _ just 23 seconds ahead of Cadel Evans of Australia _ was the second-narrowest in the Tour's 104-year history.

BASEBALL

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn took their place in baseball's shrine, saluted as much for their Hall of Fame careers as their character off the field.

Commissioner Bud Selig and a record crowd came to cheer them and all that was good about the game.

Rick Hummel, longtime baseball writer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, received the J.G. Spink Award for meritorious writing, and Royals announcer Denny Matthews received the Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasting excellence.

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France - Natalie Gulbis finally earned her first LPGA Tour title, getting a birdie on the first hole of a playoff against South Korea's Jang Jeong to win the Evian Masters.

Jang and the 24-year-old American finished the fourth round tied at 4-under 284. Gulbis had a final round 70, and Jang birdied the last hole to finish with a 72.

Top-ranked Lorena Ochoa (68) was one shot behind and tied for third place with Juli Inkster (75) of the United States and Shin Ji-yai (72) of South Korea. Michelle Wie finished tied for 69th place with a 16-over 304, after a final round 76.

MARKHAM, Ontario - Jim Furyk defended his Canadian Open title, taking the lead with a hole-in-one on the 209-yard fourth hole and finishing with a 7-under 64 for a one-stroke victory over Vijay Singh (68).

Furyk had a 16-under 268 total on Angus Glen's links-style North Course. Three strokes behind Singh after the third round, Furyk birdied two of the first three holes before moving ahead at 13 under with his third career ace.

Ryan Palmer and George McNeill closed with 66s to tie for third at 13 under, and Bob Heintz (67) and Hunter Mahan (67) followed at 12 under.

GULLANE, Scotland - Tom Watson survived a double bogey at the last hole to win his third Senior British Open in five years. He finished with a final-round 73 for a one-stroke victory over Mark O'Meara (72) and Stewart Ginn (75).

Defending champion Loren Roberts finished in a tie for fourth after an even par 71 gave him a 4-over 288.

TENNIS

INDIANAPOLIS - Dmitry Tursunov beat Frank Dancevic 6-4, 7-5 to win the Indianapolis Tennis Championships for his second career ATP title.
