A cold, damp day in Atlanta, but it was just fine for Jimmie Johnson.  It was more than halfway thru Sunday's race that he finally edged his way to the front.  After that his car kept getting better and the rest of the field had a tough time keeping up.

It took defending Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson twelve races to win for the first time this season, but now he's won three of the last four and it looks like he may be on the way to a seventh consecutive championship.  His latest victory came Sunday at Michigan International Speedway for his first ever win at the track.

After going three months before winning his first race of the season all of a sudden Jimmie Johnson has put together two in a row.  Following up his Coca Cola 600 victory, Johnson dominated Dover's Monster Mile for his ninth career victory at the one mile track.  He led 272 of the 400 laps and held off pole sitter Brad Keselowski on a late restart and very much looks like he could extend his strin

Finally, Jimmie Johnson has a victory this season to break an 11-race winless drought, matching the longest of his career and it came in the season's longest race.  Johnson led a race-high 164 laps to win the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night for the fourth time.

It's not too often that Jimmie Johnson dominates a race, especially at Martinsville and loses.  That's exactly what happened on Sunday when Johnson led 296 of the 500 laps at the half mile track but came in second to Kurt Busch.

Five Sprint Cup races so far this season and five different winners.  Kyle Busch came from the back of the pack during a green-white-checkered finish to win at Auto Club Speedway in California, just holding off Kyle Larson who came in second.

It was almost a formality. Jimmie Johnson had such a huge lead entering the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway that all he had to do was finish 23rd or better to earn his sixth Sprint Cup Championship. He came in ninth, and that was good enough for his sixth career title, putting him just one behind the NASCAR Cup Series all-time record holders, Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt, who each wo

One race to go in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship and Jimmie Johnson has a solid lead after finishing third in Sunday’s race at Phoenix Raceway.

Two more races to go and it’s down to a two-man race.

It was one of the cleanest races I can recall at NASCAR’s longest track. There was a minor crash early in the race, then 103 consecutive green flag laps until rookie Austin Dillon lost control in the second turn of the final lap and was struck from behind by Casey Mears. It brought out the yellow and checkered flag together, with Jamie McMurray crossing the finish line first for his seventh career

If ever there was a time for Jimmie Johnson to win a race, it was at a track where he knows the way to victory lane.

Only five slots left and one race to go before NASCAR’s chase for the Sprint Cup Championship begins.
