Johnson wins again
FORT WORTH, TX (TheSpread) – Jimmie Johnson got his second straight victory on Sunday, as he won the AAA Texas 500 in a competitive race.

According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Johnson had 5/1 odds to win Sunday’s race, which means a wager of $100 on him to win will pay out an additional $500.
