This weekend the boys of NASCAR head west for a duel in the desert.  With the Nationwide Race in the books as of last night in Phoenix, it came down to Greg Biffle capturing the checkered flag. But all eyes will be on Jimmy Johnson as he tries to capture his 4th win in a row at NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at Phoenix International raceway this Sunday.  The mighty Hendrick Team looks stronger than ever and only time will tell. This includes Jeff Gordon in the points lead, Jimmy Johnson with pressure of Phoenix and and in a close 2nd (to Gordon in 1st), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (a past Phoenix winner & 16th in points), and Mark Martin (18th in poinst and also captured the pole for this weekend). The 1 mile oval in Phoenix may have drivers making history or being history. The race will start in the day and end in the night. so track conditions will change along the way. Can Jimmy Johnson make it 4 in a row? We'll see..
