DOVER, Del. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson nosed past Tony Stewart with two laps left in a thrilling battle to the finish and won the Sprint Cup Series race at Dover International Speedway. Johnson pushed Stewart over the final few laps Sunday on the concrete and finally caught him with an outside pass. Johnson won his second race of the season and got his fourth career Cup victory at Dover. "We just couldn't hold off Jimmie," Stewart said. "He was like a freight train coming." Johnson dominated most of the race and led 298 total laps after leading only 12 laps combined in the last six races. The three-time defending Cup champion had a slow pit stop with 36 laps left that dropped him from the lead. With crew chief Chad Knaus telling Johnson he would catch Stewart, Johnson pulled out his 42nd career win. "I just had to go," Johnson said. "I had one heck of a race with Tony. That's how racing's supposed to be done." He was followed by Stewart, Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch. Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 12th in his first race with crew chief Lance McGrew. Stewart passed Jeff Gordon for the Cup points lead and became the first owner/driver to sit atop the standings since Alan Kulwicki won the Cup title in 1992. Gordon ran two laps down in his backup car most of the race and finished 26th to fall 46 points behind Stewart.
By DAN GELSTON (AP) DOVER, Del. — Jimmie Johnson dominated again in winning a crucial Chase race. It's become about as routine this time of year on the sports calendar as the start of the NFL season or the baseball playoff stretch drive. If he keeps driving like this, NASCAR can expect another regular fixture in November: Johnson hoisting the series trophy and celebrating a championship. Johnson thumped the competition in the second Chase for the championship race, sweeping the season races at Dover International Speedway to accelerate his bid for an unprecedented fourth straight Sprint Cup title. "I'm pretty sure that dude is Superman," runner-up Mark Martin said. He was pretty super on the concrete in the No. 48 Chevrolet. If three championships weren't enough to intimidate the rest of the Chase field, the way he won on Sunday should send another message: He's just really getting going on a fourth. "As far as sending a message, I hope it does," Johnson said. "I hope people are worried." Johnson cut Martin's points lead with the victory — his fourth of the year and 44th overall — in the second of 10 races in the Chase for the championship. "I've seen that dude up close and I see why he's so successful," said Martin, Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports teammate. "He works harder at it than anybody else, I think, on the circuit." No winner of the second Dover race has ever gone on to win the Cup championship. If any driver can reverse that trend, it's Johnson. Much as he did in <b>...</b>
