Jimmie Johnson has been a force at Texas since he entered the Sprint Cup Series in 2002. Through 25 starts, he has finished outside of the top 10 only six times. He earned his first win at the track in 2007 despite only leading nine laps.
He has been particularly dominant at the track in the past few years. Dating back to November of 2012, he has won five out of seven races, including four straight fall wins, and he has led 748 laps along the way.
His last win at the track came recently as it was the third-to-last race of the 2015 season. Brad Keselowski had led 312 laps and only had a few more to go before he clinched a spot in the final race at Homestead. Johnson had ran in the top 10 all day long and after a 5-10 lap battle, Johnson was able to pass him and take home the win, even though he only led the last six laps of the race.
