Motorsport News: Russ Bond's Weekly Report
Jimmie Johnson won his 'home town' race at the Lowe's Charlotte Motor Speedway, his fourth in a row at his sponsor's track, and the win vaulted him into a tie with Tony Stewart for the lead in the chase heading into the final five races. The big problem all night - on prime time television - was the Good Year tires. They were only good for about 17-20 laps, which put a damper on the whole night.
