Johnson is back on track, despite a few bumps along the way

NASCAR Power Rankings

Jimmie Johnson has restored normalcy to the world in the weeks before his daughter's emergence into it. Little what's-her-name will not enter a world in which daddy hasn't won in months or in which interlopers like Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch dominate what was once Johnson territory. One can only assume she will cooperatively appear during the bye week after the July 10 race at Chicago, just in time for her first championship photo at Homestead. Have a comment?
