Hendrick Motorsports cars swept three of the top four positions as Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin finished third and fourth. The team's fourth car, Dale Earnhardt Jr., finished 16th. Will he ever win again? He has just one win since 2006.
Johnson, the four-time defending Sprint Cup Series champion, led the final 17 laps after passing Gordon under green. Gordon, who dominated the race, had the lead after the race's final restart for 17 laps until Johnson snuck by. New four-time led just 18 laps all race while old four-time led 219 of the 267 circuits.
The final caution of the race was brought out by Rookie of the Year candidate Kevin Conway, who looks to have a bright future in the Sprint Cup Series with the mega financial backing of sponsor ExtenZe, who may or may not be involved in a study that will be the talk of the first week of March in the year 2015.
The race's biggest crash happened on lap 94 when Jamie McMurray, Kurt Busch and Juan Pablo Montoya got together.
Harvick has the points lead through three races by 47 points over teammate Clint Bowyer.
