Jimmie Johnson saw his lead over Denny Hamlin shrink to 6 Points in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Standings following Hamlin's win in the Tums Fast Relief 50 at Martinsville Sunday.That lead may vanish altogether by Tuesday if NASCAR issues a penalty for a part that was confiscated from the No. 48 Chevrolet before the race started.Dale Earnhardt Jr led 90 laps in today's race after starting from the 28th position. Junior's No. 88 was just tight enough to make it fast and he rocketed through the field to the lead.No. 48 crew chief Chad Knaus saw how fast Junior was coming. H e radioed to Jimmie Johnson "if you hear a great scream and roar you'll know that Dale took the lead" as Earnhardt closed in on the top spot.
