Jimmie Johnson Pulls Out Sneaky Texas Win
It's looking like it's gonna be a hot one in Phoenix after Sunday's race at Texas Motor Speedway. Brad Keselowski virtually led everyone in pretty much every category all day long, but couldn't hold off a faster Jimmie Johnson in the final five laps.
What that means for the Sprint Cup standings is that Keseloski, while not hurting at all after settling for a second-place finish, is no absolute lock for contention for the championship in Miami, as he would've been.
He was able to hold off a charge from another Chaser, Martin Truex Jr., but Truex hopes were dashed when he succumbed to faster vehicles, winding up with an eighth place finish.
Kevin Harvick couldn't catch a break all day but STILL found himself in third place to finish things, as Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards both rounded out the top five.
