Jimmie Johnson Wins Fifth Consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship

On television, on the radio and in the media center, Kevin Harvick repeated himself all three times he was asked about his incident with Kyle Busch.

Busch, he said, “raced me like a clown all day.”

The closest Chase ever has come down to one race, a fitting finale to what has been one of the more entertaining NASCAR seasons in recent memory.

Points leader Denny Hamlin, in search of his first championship, has a 15-point advantage over Jimmie Johnson – the four-time defending Cup winner. Kevin Harvick is still alive as well, just 46 points back.
