Johnson's crash tightens Chase race

Jimmie Johnson 's seemingly inevitable march toward his fourth consecutive Sprint Cup title was thrust into doubt on the third lap Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway.

"thrust into doubt"?

Not to me. It still seems inevitable, only now it won't be by so much -IF- and I STRESS "IF" he does succeed. I'm confident he will, but as it's so accurately worded-'seemingly' inevitable. Not 'certainly'.

If this was all preplanned like wrestling... that would be really amazing! Maybe they had like a race sim and they worked it out and rehearsed it several times. I did think it seemed suspicious how they knew exactly what parts to bring for them to fix it.

if you watch the wreck, after he gets hit he gets sideways and has it saved and he just turns the steering wheel to the left and into the inside wall. either he has no car control or it seems it was set up. something didn't look right

His front wheels were turned slightly left and sliding as he was trying to keep from hitting the front end against the wall. Then the front tires grabbed and steered him back into traffic. Just then a nudge from another car pushes the front end back to the right... its just a mess and he was no doubt trying to watch the mirror and all that traffic coming from behind. In a clearing, its not nearly as hard to just gather it up but while trying to dodge other cars, saving it was probably secondary to keeping from hitting other cars that were the immediate threat for damage.

It was REALLY close. I almost came back to say 'good eye' because I couldn't confirm if there was or not from the videos I was able to find on youtube, but so many people were saying there was contact so I thought I'd remain 'undecided' until there was further evidence.
