SPECIAL * HOMESTEAD

Twenty-fifth place.

That’s all that stands between Jimmie Johnson and his historic fourth consecutive Cup Series championship. If Johnson finishes 25th or better in the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway (2:30 p.m. ET, ABC), the Cup title is his.

The good news for Mark Martin, who is the only driver that can catch Johnson, is that Johnson has finished 26th or worse 47 times in his career. Even better news for Martin is one of those came at Homestead, when the No. 48 crashed in 2005 and came home 40th.

The bad news for Martin is aside from that slip, Johnson has been impressive in Miami. He doesn’t have a win, but he does have five top-10s in eight starts, including a second and a third back in ‘03 and ‘04.

Even worse news for Martin is how Johnson returns to the track after a victory. In 46 starts following a visit to Victory Lane, Johnson has nine victories, 23 top-fives and 31 top-10s. So after a victory, Johnson averages a finish of 9.47.

Johnson has finished 26th or worse after a victory six times, but the last time that happened was in 2007.
