"Sunday's win at Atlanta Motor Speedway was the 76th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory for Jimmie Johnson, a milestone that saw him match the win total of seven-time champion Dale Earnhardt to tie him for seventh all-time on the wins list.

Only seven other drivers have reached at least 76 wins in the sport's history.

"It's such an honor," Johnson said in Victory Lane after the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. "... There's a huge void in my career that I never had a chance to race with him, but at least I was able to tie his record."

Next up in Johnson's sights: Cale Yarborough, Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip

Good racing, Wrecks that were caused by aero or too much "bumping".
#2 did a good job of strategy and blocking.
The "lady" was taken out when she was running 10th. Good job till then.
Sad to see #20 taken out. He 's due for a win.

And Truex shoots to the lead; I really hope he doesn't blow up early. They always seem to be fastest right before they go "Poof" <rattle, rattle, clunk>
