Allmendinger (Ford) * Supersport finish: Rocky Kenan Apollo Eugene (Video) * Hot Pages * Megan Fox's sexy Video * Lady Gaga-inspired Lenny Kravitz, Gossip Raccoon Taylor Momsen.... Johnson let the field know his bid for a fifth straight title is alive and thriving by winning the second race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship for his sixth victory of the season. He won’t be truly happy with the result until he’s hoisting the series trophy and celebrating another championship after the finale. Johnson has owned Dover the last two years, winning for the third time in four races on the mile concrete oval. He shook off a rare poor finish in last week’s Chase opener at New Hampshire to turn the fastest qualifying lap, cruise to the checkered flag and shoot to second in the points standings. Johnson has few better tracks to jump-start his championship run than Dover with six career wins and 12 top-10 finishes in 18 races. He was sensational in the No. 48 Chevrolet here in May until a rare pit road mistake put him in 16th place. Denny Hamlin kept his points lead with a ninth-place finish. He holds a 35-point advantage over Johnson heading into next week’s race at Kansas Speedway. The points leader after Dover has never gone on to win the championship since the Chase’s inception in 2004. * Nascar Chase loves snaps - Bowyer Sylvania 300 @ Loudon (Video)
