Jimmie Wins at The Brickyard!

Lap 39 -- YELLOW FLAG: Jimmie Johnson blows a left-front tire. He rolled around the track off the pace until his debris forced a caution. It was exactly when NASCAR had planned to throw a competition caution.

Lap 116 -- LEAD CHANGE: Jimmie Johnson takes the lead from Matt Kenseth. It is the first lap Johnson has led at Indianapolis.

Lap 124 -- LEAD CHANGE: Matt Kenseth takes over the lead after Jimmie Johnson comes in for his pit stop.

Lap 128 -- LEAD CHANGE: Green-flag pit stops have cycled through as Joe Nemechek gives up the lead to make his stop. Jimmie Johnson is in control again with a 1.435-second lead over Matt Kenseth.

Lap 153 -- Matt Kenseth gets around Dale Earnhardt Jr. for second and sets his sights on Jimmie Johnson.

Lap 156 -- Jimmie Johnson's lead is 1.955 seconds over Matt Kenseth.

Lap 160 -- CHECKERED FLAG: Jimmie Johnson wins the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. It is his first victory at Indianapolis.



I've never been so nervous in my life as I was during those last ten laps. I found out it's possible to cross my fingers and toes!!!
