Only three races away from an almost certain Jimmie Johnson fourth consecutive title when just ended up on a track that is the reigning champion: For the second time this season, NASCAR visits the Texas Motor Speedway.
Talladega is now back for a week and there happened to exactly what the excitement has helped in the championship will be decided at least: All chasers with realistic title hopes were beyond 19th place finish, because it is the last major accident in any way, then still caught - with one exception: Jimmie Johnson! Who drove home a sixth place, while its immediate rivals sometimes violently caught. Mark Martin (28th) was in a rollover just a passenger and was just as Juan Pablo Montoya (19th) and Jeff Gordon (20) does not go unpunished. A "big one" before Ryan Newman came up with the horror of it, as he also has struck out, but after seven long minutes the car was. The roof had to be removed, because it was pushed down pretty far. Newman got one of the overhead landing even a slap on the helmet and bit her severely on the teeth. In this hair-raising accident also was his teammate Tony Stewart (35th) involved, which then all remaining opponents are called Johnson.
