| | | A Cup and a wife's kiss for Dale Jarrett. | It took 15 years, but Dale Jarrett finally reached the pinnacle of Winston Cup racing Sunday in Homestead, Fla. And if one word can sum up D.J.'s championship season -- four wins, 24 top-five finishes, No. 1 for 27 straight weeks -- it would be "consistent." But ESPN's Benny Parsons says don't be fooled by Jarrett's consistency -- Jarrett became a champion in 1999 -- the result of some calculated gambles taken over the past decade, writes ESPN's Matt Yocum.
