Jimmie Johnson
It was another stellar performance by Jimmie Johnson and his Lowes Chevy team as he scored his fifth and series leading victory at his home track in southern California. For the first half of the race he stood there lurking in the top five and then proceeded to take over past the half way point and cruise along to another victory for Hendrick Motor Sports.
This NASCAR Nextel Cup race had some descent racing among the front runners as this huge 2 mile oval boast three and four racing grooves. Dale Earnhardt Jr. found himself in the hunt early on but faded at the end and finished a disappointing fifth, all but eliminating him from the chase. With the final race next weekend in Richmond he will need a miracle to get in.
But once again Hendrick showed why they are the dominant team in the cup series as Johnson, Kyle Busch and Casey Mears all ran well. The only exception is points leader Jeff Gordon who struggled all night. Gordon will most likely see his points margin of over 400 points erased by the bonus system NASCAR has adopted and Johnson will lead going into the final ten races for the championship. Oh well, at least it's a Hendrick car unless another team can step up and give them a fight. Tony Stewart, are you listening? See you next week in Richmond.
