Denny Hamlin won the NASCAR Sprint Cup race on October 25 at Martinsville but Jimmy Johnson, who led man laps, but failed to lead the one lap that really matters.
Today's race places Johnson 118 points ahead of Mark Martin. Jeff Gordon holds the third place standing as of today's race.
Carl Edwards, one of my favorite drivers, had a dismal 20th place finish today placing him 10th in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
The next few weeks will be interesting as we watch to see if Jimmy Johnson can take home yet another Sprint Cup or, if at long last, perhaps Mark Martin will get his turn.
