Jimmie Johnson lucky? Yes. Apologetic? No

Theres no doubt Jimmie Johnson and his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team have been living a charmed life for the past few years.
They have won four straight Cup championships.
They won their fifth Cup race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana on Sunday.
The way Johnson won the race in Fontana prompted Kevin Harvick to say, They have a golden horseshoe stuck up their ass. Theres no getting around that.
Johnson led the most laps of any driver in the race. He also caught a break during pit stops late in the race. He came in for a green flag pit stop on lap 226. Brad Keselowski spun out and brought out a caution flag. Johnson was able to pit and take over the lead on the next lap. He came out of the pits in first on lap 227 and went on to win the race.
Theres no way around it. We got lucky, Johnson said. We certainly got lucky. We were running third or fourth or fifth at the time, so its not like we totally backed into this thing. We got a really nice gift with the way things worked out, then it was kind of up to me to hang on to it.
