No. 4 Jimmie Johnson

It took a while, eight races, but Jimmie Johnson is back where he belongs, among the leaders in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings.
He jumped into fourth place after winning the Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway two weeks ago and sits 99 points out of first.
He has a pretty impressive record at Talladega Superspeedway too. He won a Cup race there in 2006 and was runner-up in both races last year.
"I think Talladega is going to be an exciting race," said Johnson, driver of the No. 48 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. "Being in the points, we held back and really tried to stay out of harms way (in the fall). I think it led to a not-so-exciting race at Talladega. I remember some criticism for it. I would expect this race to be completely out of control and wild."
His team is bringing a new car to Talladega. This will be the second time the Cup teams will race NASCAR's new stock car at Talladega.
"The points are always important, but with the Chase format, I think you will see a much more competitive race," Johnson said. "A lot more guys taking risks and getting in the middle of things and racing four-wide. I am predicting a great race in Talladega."
