Hendrick Motorsports driver Johnson made history July 26 in the 16th running of the Brickyard 400 in the No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet by becoming the first driver to win the race in back-to-back fashion. Johnson has won the race three times in four years, having scored his first victory in 2006 and following up in 2008 and 2009.

Johnson narrowly beat Hendrick teammate and race pole winner Mark Martin to the finish line, by .400 of a second. Gordon, Stewart and Kahne all finished in the top 10 of the 2009 Brickyard 400, while Earnhardt qualified third and ran in the top 10 until an engine problem sidelined him on Lap 127.

Pending official release of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series schedule by NASCAR, the 2010 Brickyard 400 is scheduled for Sunday, July 25.
