Johnson dominates at Dover










Runner-up Stewart takes points lead; Junior finishes 12.

It's tough to keep a good man down and when you have the combination of a great car and an excellent driver, it's downright impossible, as Jimmie Johnson proved in Sunday's Autism Speaks 400 at Dover International Speedway.

Restarting eighth on Lap 374 of 400, after NASCAR called the 10th caution of the race for David Stremme's hard crash on the frontsretch, Johnson atoned for a slow pit stop and charged through the field to run down Greg Biffle and Tony Stewart and win his fourth Cup Series race at Dover, his second of the 2009 season and the 42nd of his career.
