Most impressive performance
Yeah, Matt Kenseth passing Jamie McMurray for the win with three laps left Sunday was a pretty good move. Here is the AP version we ran in today's N&R; the pretty thorough Fox Sports recap is here.
I was hoping McMurray would give Kenseth a better race at the end. But Kenseth clearly had the better car - he ran away and left McMurray, they're teammates after all and, well, that's the way it was going to go.
But Jimmie Johnson ... man, what a comeback. He spun himself in qualifying. Spun himself in the race. Had to share a pit stall with Scott Wimmer. Put himself two laps down. And still finished sixth.
Obviously, the garlic, mirrors and wooden stakes aren't working. Maybe it's time to pull out some silver bullets: Johnson swept Pocono in 2004 and has never finished worse there than 15th. See for yourself.

If it weren't for the Chase JJ would have "Championship" writen across his forehead.
The team just can't do no wrong and when they do whether dealt to them, or thru their own mistakes they somehow salvage a good points day.
But it means nothing when a bad valve spring in a single Chase event can relagate him once again to first loser, or worse.
