Johnson wins

at Las Vegas

A new track configuration and hard tires that made it difficult to drive. A pit road penalty and a brush against the wall.

Jimmie Johnson faced all of it Sunday, and came out on top yet again at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

The defending series champion beat teammate Jeff Gordon to win his third straight Nextel Cup race at Las Vegas - only this one came under extremely different conditions.

''It was obviously a good day for us - we had some issues,'' said Johnson. ''To overcome the adversity this weekend of coming back on a new tire and not having any experience on it, and working through all the issues we did, it was a very good weekend.''

Oh yes it was.
