IT A TWO FOR JUNIOR -- Dale Jr that is

No he didnt lead all the laps and no he wasnt on the pole but he led the last run of green laps after Brad had a mind slip or tire slip or maybe he was trying to hard but the bottom line is he slowed for an instant and Jr was all over him and into the lead. So thats two for him as far as checker flags this year, he even stuck the second winners flag on his car while grinning. It just may be a great season after all for him...photo from Fox Sports

I was, like most people watching, surprised when he slowed behind the other car and made the swipe across the back to try and dislodge the debris that was overheating his car. It was obvious that Jr. was pulling up behind him so maybe the engine was losing power from the heat. I believe that most drivers with that few laps to go would have just stood on it and took their chances with the motor. He only slowed a bit and Jr. made a great move to drop down and pass him. A good win either way....

yes it was any time you put JimmIE Johnson out of the front its a plus for me !!

This appears to be Junior's year. That's not to say he'll win the championship, but he'll make the top six at least. It's hard to bet against Jimmie though. Even if Hendrick put all his money and effort into Junior (because he'd reap more money from it), Jimmie & Chad know enough to come out ahead.My prediction is that a Stewart-Haas driver will win it all though.
