So What ELSE Is New?
Jimmie Johnson sealed the deal in fine fashion...and for what he had to do, didn't put a wheel wrong. He led the first lap--his only lap--that, and a seventh place finish for the now two time and defending NASCAR Nextel/Sprint Cup champion. He defeated Jeff Gordon by 77 points, only losing nine, on the strength of Gordon's 4th place finish.
Yes, folks, they do like each other (as much as you might not think so)...
NASCAR's maximum leader, Brian France needs to get a reality check. His inheritance is beginning to get tarnished (downturn in TV ratings, empty seats, cannibalizing sponsors, and still trying to do business the old way), and is in need of some polish. The Chase turned into a rout for Team Hendrick.
