All series come to an end, for Jimmie Johnson and the No. 48 team of Hendrick Motorsports this year. After having reigned almost unchallenged for five years, especially during the various races of the Chase, Johnson went to the course, 2011 will not be his year.
If he had still a chance of title before the race in Phoenix, he lost any chance at the penultimate round of the season for the first time since 2003 he took part in the last trick of the season without have any chance to be titrated.
The oval of Homestead is one of the few tracks that still resists the five-time champion as well as Michigan, Watkins Glen, Joliet and Kentucky. He will succeed in overcoming the Indian sign over the weekend to restart the machine to win in 2012, or end there coasting?
