2008 NASCAR Sprint Series Results

­With two races to go before the beginning of the Chase, Johnson and the team stepped up and won both regular-season races and entered the Chase third behind Bu­sch and Edwards. Johnson ran steadily in the Chase with three wins, and never finished worse than 15th. At the NASCAR Awards Banquet in New York, 69-year-old Cale Yarborough awarded the 2008 championship ring to Johnson, who, at 33 years of age, could be a serious contender to Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt's record of seven titles.
