2009 Winner of the Checker O'Reilly
Auto Parts 500
Jimmie Johnson has
dominated the Phoenix International Raceway in recent
years and in 2009, was no different. When the checkered
flag fell Johnson had claimed his fourth Phoenix race in
his last five tries. Johnson, who won for the seventh
time this season and scored the maximum 195 points
(winning and leading the most laps) for the fourth time
in the Chase, will eliminate the other 10 Chase
competitors as soon as he takes the green flag at
Homestead.
