Slumping Johnson Welcomes Tricky Triangle

This is strange territory for Jimmie Johnson, winner of four consecutive series championship.

Johnson’s last three finishes – and four of the last five – have been outside the top 15.

The slump has dropped Johnson from the points lead after Talladega, to his current seventh-place position.

A turn-around could come this weekend, where Johnson has an average Pocono finish of 9.8. He swept there in 2004.
