The Nascar Sprint Cup Chase reached the California Speedway in Fontana for the Auto Club 500 today, and Jimmie Johnson made his first move to capturing his fifth straight championship.
During the whole race, Johnson battled and won almost all the challenges he received by other drivers, after the first 20 laps, he took over first place after Juan Mantoya led most of the beginning laps, and later Mantoya would finish the race early after engine failure.
Johnson fell behind during the cautions that followed in the race, and he found himself battling fourth through sixth with other drivers with less than 100 laps to go.
With less than 25 laps left, Johnson was in the top 10 and he decided to make a pit stop, at the same time Johnson committed to pit, Brad Keselowski spun out in front of the starting/finish line.
With the bold move, Johnson was given the pass and was in first place with 19 laps to go.
With his strong racing throughout the race and his car being the best all day, Johnson was able to hold off Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton to win the race.
