Did you know that with Johnson's win at last weekend's TUMS Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway gave him a record 21 career victories in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup^TM since the post-season format was created in 2004. The next closest driver with wins in the post-season is Tony Stewart, with 11 wins.

With Texas coming up, Johnson likes this track, so I'm not sure anyone will gain ground on him.

Did you know that the next win a Chevy logs in the NASCAR Cup Series will be a milestone, and be the brand's 700th win.

If Jeff Gordon leads one more lap, he'll tie Darrell Waltrip with the all-time laps led... at 23,134 laps.

If Bobby Labonte starts this weekend, this will be his 900th start in a NASCAR National series.
