Johnson all but
wraps up title
With his 10th win of the season, Jimmie Johnson all but sealed a second consecutive Nextel Cup title.
A defeated Jeff Gordon even conceded.
But Johnson's victory celebration was subdued. He won't take anything for granted, even after Sunday's win at Phoenix International Raceway gave him a commanding 86-point lead with just one race to go.
"I don't want to act like it's our championship yet," he said. "We have a nice margin in the points right now. But 400 miles (at Homestead), that's my goal. I have to run 400 more miles, and we'll get nuts after that."
In winning his fourth-straight race, Johnson positioned himself to become the first driver to win consecutive titles since Gordon did it in 1997 and 1998. His season win total is the most since Gordon won 13 in 1998.
