Check out the Dickies 500 today to see if "reverse racing" can work again.
Jimmie Johnson proved to be the master of the art last week at Talladega Superspeedway, cruising around at the back of the field all day to stay out of potential problems. Then, in the chaos at the end of the race, he somehow managed to finish sixth, turning a backwater day into another big step toward the championship.
Will Johnson, now almost a lock to win a fourth straight title, turn in another "worst to first" day, or will he ditch the Talladega protective
strategy and wrestle up front?
