Although Jimmie Johnson did not win at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday he did secure his second straight NEXTEL Cup championship. He is the first driver to repeat as champion since Jeff Gordon did it in the 97′ and 98′ seasons. Matt Kenseth won the race with Jimmie coming in at 7th place. Gordon finished 4th in the race but it wasn’t good enough to pass Johnson and Jeff finished the season in 2nd and 77 points behind Jimmie. Both Gordon and Jimmie drive for Hendrick Motorsports and in fact Jeff Gordon hand picked Jimmie to be his teammate. The video contains footage of the last 9 laps at Homestead.
