The reason you might have been confused is that Stanford's car ended up crossing the finish line first - however, Carnegie-Mellon ended up starting later, and since the race was comprised of three separate missions that didn't happen one right after the other, the times the cars crossed the finish lines weren't the only things that determined who was the winner. Besides, Stanford only won the last one because some of CMU's professors transferred over there before the race. So there. That first link leads to the true winners page.

CMU won the $2 million, having finished the race a full 20 minutes faster than Stanford. This post is incorrect. Rob, you are not missing anything.
