GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Jeff Gordon said it best last week when he said Jimmie Johnson "has flat killed everyone" in the Chase for the Nextel Cup.That didn't change Sunday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Jimmie Johnson finished seventh in the Ford 400 to wrap up his second NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship in a row by 77 points over Hendrick Motorsports teammate and co-team owner, Jeff Gordon. Johnson is the first Cup series repeat champion since Gordon did it in 1997-98.
Johnson, who was going for his 5th win in a row, led only the first lap of the race after starting from the pole and was a steady Top-10 fixture for the rest of the race. Gordon managed to earn 9 points in the final tally on Johnson by finishing fourth, but it wouldn't be enough for the four-time champion who also had a season to remember by recording his 30th Top-10 of the season, a new NASCAR record.
Oh Yeah, Matt Kenseth Won, Too
Also celebrating Sunday night at Homestead was the Roush-Fenway Racing team after Matt Kenseth won his second race of the year.
The win was especially nice for departing No. 17 crew chief Robbie Reiser. Reiser will assume the position of general manager for Roush-Fenway starting Monday morning after working with Kenseth since his entry into the ranks of NASCAR in the late 1990s.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. wrecked early and Tony Stewart late to end a crazy year for the Nextel Cup Series that saw plenty of transition and plenty of things pushed to the limits.
