Johnson on verge of NASCAR history
ONE RACE to go ... 267 more laps ...
To become the first NASCAR Cup series racer to win four consecutive championships, all Jimmie Johnson has to do Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway is finish 25th or better. Johnson's consistency and the high-level efficiency of his No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet team make it likely that Johnson will four-peat.
Montoya a good fit with NASCAR
AS A RACER with IndyCar and Formula One experience, Juan Pablo Montoya is qualified to compare NASCAR racing with other series. When you read what he says about major league stock-car racing, you might feel he has been NASCAR-ized. Whatever, ol' J.P. thinks NASCAR is No. 1.
