Jimmie Johnson outran Ryan Newman to score his third-straight NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series win at Martinsville Speedway Sunday picking up the victory in the Subway 500.
Johnson had to dodge a record-setting day of cautions with the yellow flying 21 times, the most in the history of the .526-mile track which hosted its first NASCAR race in 1949.
I have never liked Gordon but the guy is a four-time champion for a reason. I believe Gordon, Johnson, and Mark Martin will be contend for the championship by the end of the year. Sorry Jr. Nation, the reality is Jr. is the 4th tier at Hendrick.
Last night Darlington was a nail-biter. JJ coming from 42nd and a lap down early to finish 2nd, Gordon coming back from a lap down for a top 5, and Martin winning was an overall good day for the top three drivers at Hendrick.

Right now with Gordon's 82 wins and 4 Winston Cup championships I will agree with you. When both men's careers are done who knows what the overall outcome will be.
I have never been a Gordon fan but respect what the man has done. As a Johnson fan, I feel he will win a couple more championships himself and eclipse 50 wins in the next two years.
Either way, Gordon and Johnson are still the top dogs at Hendrick regardless of what the Dale Jr. nations says.

Yeah, that's what you think. The whole Hendrick organization kicks butt! I believe that Jimmie has what it takes to win another championship.

Who do you think you are Nostradamus? First of all on your profile page, you have spelled Jimmie incorrectly. I like Gordon as well, but the Lowes Chevrolet a WHOLE lot more. Hey Gordon, the object in your mirror(Lowe's 48) is closer than it appears...
