Jimmie Johnson took his fourth win of the season on Sunday at Martinsville to punch his ticket to race as a championship contender at Homestead.  Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, and Kyle Busch rounded out the top 5.  Now Johnson has a shot at a record-tying 7th championship in Homestead.  “I’ve been trying to ignore the conversation about seven, but now I can’t,” Johnson said in Victory Lane.  “We’re locked in.  It’s crazy to have a shot at seven now.”  Stewart-Haas teammates Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch did not have the greatest of days, finishing 20th and 22nd respectively.  Carl Edwards also ran into trouble, crashing and hitting the wall hard on lap 358, finishing 36th.  Here are the current Chase standings.
