Talladega, AL – Jimmie Johnson won the Aaron's 499 NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway Monday. He finished just ahead of Tony Stewart in a very close finish. Sixteen cars finished within a second of Johnson, who won the Daytona 500 in February. He has now won three races this season. For Stewart, it was his sixth career second place finish at Talladega. The race was delayed until Monday because of the weekend weather.
