Jimmie Johnson will leave Phoenix International Raceway with a 28 point lead over Matt Kenseth following the running of the Advocare 500.<\/p>\n

With the competition of 312 laps at Phoenix the driver of the No. 48 has all but locked up his sixth series championship.<\/p>\n

Johnson entered Sunday’s race at Phoenix with a seven point lead over Kenseth and began the race on the pole. He ultimately finished third while Kenseth finished 23rd nearly eliminating him from title contention.<\/p>\n

WINNER:<\/strong> Harvick wins at Phoenix, full results for Advocare 500<\/a><\/p>\n

The lead by Johnson all but assures him of winning his sixth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series title entering Homestead. Johnson simply needs a 23rd or better fnish. (If Kenseth wins and earns all bonus points)<\/p>\n
