Jimmie Johnson Conquers Talladega

It’s only been a year since “Little E” called Jimmie Johnson an idiot for his role in accidents that caused 39 accidents at Talladega. Johnson won his second restrictor plate race in two tries this year after holding off a charge from Tony Stewart at the Aarons 499 today. The race was delayed an entire day due to severe thunderstorms the day before. The win vaulted Jimmie Johnson into first in the Nextel Cup Standings with Matt Kenseth trailing by 21 points.
