NASCAR Partners 0:08 Alan Cavanna, NASCAR.com -- Hello everyone,
we're coming to you from Homestead Miami 0:10 Speedway, where the NASCAR Sprint Cup
series wrapped up its season with a thrilling finish,
0:14 And a familiar champion. 0:16 Matt Kenseth faced a 28-point deficit
heading into the season's final race 0:20 When he started from the pole.
0:22 Kenseth would dominate the early part of the race and lead more laps than anyone.
0:26 Meanwhile, points leader Jimmie Johnson found trouble.
0:30 With 74 laps to go, Johnson had to dodge a near wreck and fell back to 23rd,
0:35 But Johnson would not be denied. 0:37 He charged back through the field, while
Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Hamlin 0:42 Battled for the lead.
0:43 In the end, Hamlin took the checkered flag, his first win of the season.
0:48 A horrible year, I was gonna be counting down the laps.
0:51 I kinda, you hate to say you gave up, kinda conceded to the fact that we probably
0:57 Weren't gonna keep the streak alive of a win every year,
1:01 I knew on that first run, right away, that we were gonna have a shot.
1:05 Johnson celebrated as well, winning his sixth title.
1:10 I just want to enjoy the moment, I've looked at the track 4 or 5 times,
1:12 I watched my guys tear down the pit box 1:15 And the pits as I was doing another interview
a few minutes ago 1:19 And they all got in a big huddle. I'm
not sure what they said, they were too far away for me to see it,
1:23 But they're all rallied up in a huddle and I'm watching from afar, soaking it all
in, 1:26 Just like, those are my boys.
1:29 So I'm just trying to enjoy it, soak it all in. I don't really know how to describe
it to be honest. 1:36 Jimmie Johnson now starts his pursuit
of trying to tie the all-time record of seven championships
1:41 Set by Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt. 1:43 That pursuit starts next February in
Daytona Beach. 1:47 For the NASCAR Official Partners Network,
