Panic time? Four-time champ Jimmie Johnson not exactly worried despite May swoon
Jimmie Johnson isn't ready to panic despite a recent swoon.
The four-time defending NASCAR champion enters Sunday's race at Pocono seventh in the points standings and coming off a crash-filled 37th-place finish in Charlotte last weekend.
He has endured similar slumps during his championship reign and his opponents are hardly ready to write him off.
Jeff Burton said Johnson's dominance has made it seem like he's won every race and led every lap the last four years. Instead Burton said it's Johnson's ability to survive tough times that has helped him set records.
Kyle Busch will start from the pole in Sunday's race at the massive 2.5-mile oval.
