well nascar just handed jimmie jiohnson the lead
...he sped to beat the pace car (gil martin said he went by the 29 pits at full speed and no speeding penalty

[slorydn1]

Well thank you nascar for handing another one to the 48!


Meanwhile,the 29 leaves Cali as the points leader

I don't see how he didn't get a speeding penalty for that pit stop. Also surprised Harvick didn't catch him, scraping the wall there really was a bad mistake.

the 29 had the second pit stall...right when it happened Gil Martin was screaming on the radio he was speeding, was shifting from second to third at full speed when he went by...he said JJ had to be doing 100 easily..oh well, cant beat the fix.

Meanwhile,yep he took it in too deep and lost the nose behind him.

Johnson moved his car up the track to disturb the air getting to Harvick, who then bobbled. Great racemanship by Johnson, no question.

Jimmie just picked up right where he left off last year. Look out NASCAR, the drive for five has started.

Actually Hendricks totally picked up where they left off: Jimmie wins, Mark Martin right up front, Jeff Gordon runs good but finishes not quite so good, Dale Jr. stinks up the joint.

Junior had a very Danica type day :-)

Too bad about the blown engine for Montoya... I think he is going to challenging for wins & the championship every race, every year now.

Don't get too excited for RCR.

you said it, that was BS.

Jimmie may have beaten Burton to the line under Caution, but Johnson was not up to caution speed, nor was he on the race track, he was on the apron. Johnson should've been one lap down, and basically get the wave around, but Nascar is bogus and always still favors Hendrick like a cruel joke.

Harvick is at least the point leader, but for the 2nd race in a row, got screwed out of the win, Nascar did their best to keep Harvick down in this race, but he just kept fighting back.

onto Vegas.
