That gang-tackle I mentioned in the last post...

Yeah, well, Stewart and Newman tried that this past weekend, and all it got was a good close up of the pavement for Ryan Newman. Meanwhile, the rest of the field tried their own, and Johnson just slid right through for a better-than-any-other-contender 6th place finish, in a car that had been terrible all day long.

Really, if you had taken snapshots every five laps and calculated Johnson's average position, it would be around 30. But at the end, there he was. And now he's got enough of a lead that he'll leave next week with the lead.

With 3 races left, this championship is done. I'd love to see something else happen, but it won't.
