Surprise, surprise! Jimmie Johnson wins! La Dee freaking da! It looks like Jimmie is out of the slump all of us were praying that he would not get out of. Jimmie Johnson dominated the race, taking over the lead on the first lap from pole-sitter, 4th place finisher, and defending race winner Kasey Kahne. Today's race was boring in my eyes, the girl that hardly very thinks a race is boring. First caution was on lap 19 for a two car spin, the 33 of Clint Bowyer and the 1 of Jamie McMurray. Both had help around, AJ Allmendinger spun Jamie and Kyle Busch spun Clint. Busch received heavy damage and never was a factor afterward. JGR had extremely bad luck today, both Denny and Kyle receiving damage is several different wrecks and Joey Logano's engine expired on the last lap. Jeff Gordon was the bully of the race, spinning almost everyone around him that he could get to: Martin Truex Jr.; David Ragan; Elliott Sadler, who took Clint Bowyer with him who had recovered from his lap 19 spin. On lap 67, the big one happened. Kurt Busch, Juan Montoya, Martin Truex Jr., Mattias Ekstrom, Denny Hamlin, Sam Hornish Jr. and among others get bunched up by Boris Said on a restart and crash. NASCAR red flagged for about 21 minutes. Marcos Ambrose was leader at the last restart when he made the big mistake of stalling his car. He took over his spot, but NASCAR puts him in seven spot, right behind Kasey Kahne, giving Jimmie Johnson the victory, his first road course win, first win in 10 weeks, and his fourth win of season and moved up to 2nd in points. Robby Gordon finished 2nd, points leader Kevin harvick finished 3rd, Kasey Kahne finished 4th and Jeff Gordon finished 5th. At the Final restart, Kurt Busch was in the top-ten, but had a flat left rear and faded to 32nd.
