If anyone thought Jimmie Johnson was out of the Chase for the Sprint Cup they were brought back to reality last weekend at the Dover International Speedway. Johnson won the AAA 400 in convincing fashion over second place Jeff Gordon and third place youngster Joey Logano. The win vaulted Johnson to second place in the Sprint Cup standings. Looking to secure his fifth consecutive Sprint Cup title, Johnson is now only 35 points behind leader Denny Hamlin (who finished in 9th). Johnson was relieved to get his first victory since the Lennox Industrial Tools 301 on June 27th. Next week NASCAR descends upon the Kansas Speedway for the Price Chopper 400. Johnson last won the race in in 2008 and finished in 9th in 2009. History shows that no one should count Johnson out until the final race of the Sprint Cup. We shall see on Saturday in Kansas City, Kansas if Hamlin can withstand Johnson’s pressure on the race track.
