Who's Hot?
This week's pick for Who's Hot is simple, Jimmie Johnson. Jimmie is currently the Nextel Cup points leader with a 93 point lead over second place, Tony Stewart. After this past week, Jimmie is $1,000,000+ richer. He pocketed a cool million for winning the All Star Challenge, and also got a contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports through the 2010 season. Oh, and guess what, his sponsor, Lowe's, signed up through the 2010 season as well. I call that job security!Everyone in NASCAR knows the man to beat at Lowe's Motor Speedway is Jimmie Johnson. He has won 4 consecutive races there, 3 consecutive Coca-Cola 600's, and 2 All-Star Challenges. His dominance at LMS is awe-inspiring for the fans, and frustrating for his competitors. It will be interesting to see if he can win his 4th consecutive 600 this coming Sunday!
