Jimmie Johnson Primed for Another Championship

The fat lady isn't quite singing yet, but she is starting to warm up.  Warm up because Jimmie Johnson is in position for a his fourth NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship in a row.

Johnson is coming off an impressive victory and heads into the big race this weekend in Charlotte with a 12 point lead over Mark Martin.  Usually at this point in the season when Johnson gets the lead, it's like trying to get a piece of cake out of a fat kid's hands to get him to relinquish it.

Johnson gets stronger as the season goes on, and it's no wonder the next two tracks are two of Johnson's favorites in Charlotte and Martinsville.  Give equal credit to Johnson, his crew chief Chad Knaus and the rest of his crew.  A fourth title is within reach.  After that the focus will switch to the fifth.  One at a time, that is how Johnson takes it, race by race, championship by championship.
