Johnson Chasing Sixth Sprint Cup Title Defense
The Chase for the Sprint Cup begins with Jimmie Johnson battling Kyle Busch for the lead in the standings. Johnson, a five time defending champion, has one win this year and sits 10 points behind Busch, after finishing second at Michigan and narrowly losing to Busch on Sunday. Busch warns of a tighter Chase while Johnson recalls past success and aims to respond under pressure. Johnson has six top three finishes this season and has only three finishes outside the top twenty, keeping him as the favorite in a season that could hinge on the playoff run.
