Jimmie Johnson will try to finish ahead of Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch and Joey Logano to win his seventh NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the Ford EcoBoost 400 (2:30 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
If Johnson wins that seventh titlr, it will tie him with NASCAR legends Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt for most Sprint Cup championships in a career.
It's definitely different, there's just no way around that," Johnson said tgis week. "The way I've won championships before, it was a 10-race, stressful environment.
"The way things unfolded for me this year, I had three stressful races worrying about points. I won Charlotte, had a couple weeks off, then I won Martinsville, had a couple weeks off, and then go back to the stress again."
Johnson has a best finish at Homestead of second, which came in 2010 when he won his fifth in a row of his six current championships. Edwards won that race.
The point is, Johnson has a chance to make NASCAR history this weekend at Homestead.
