Jimmie Johnson Wins at Dover

(Filed under: Race Recap)

Jimmie Johnson wins over Kyle BuschJimmie Johnson wins his third race of the season and takes over the NASCAR Nextel Cup standings. His teammate, Kyle Busch, finished second and was right on his bumper as they came to the line. Rusty Wallace finished third, Mark Martin fourth and Ryan Newman fifth.

The Chase standings were shaken up with poor runs from Tony Stewart (finished 18th), Kurt Busch (23rd) and Matt Kenseth (35th). The top 6 positions in the standings are seperated by 23 points:

  1. Jimmie Johnson
  2. Rusty Wallace (-7)
  3. Ryan Newman (-12)
  4. Mark Martin (-21)
  5. Tony Stewart (-23)
  6. Greg Biffle (-23)

After that it's 81 points back to Jeremy Mayfield and it starts to be a large gap to overcome. Of course there are eight races to go.
