While Jimmie Johnson goes into Sunday’s Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway with a commanding 183-point lead over Carl Edwards in the Chase for the championship, Sam Hornish Jr. holds a mere 2-point margin over Regan Smith in the duel for rookie of the year.
“It’s a tough thing because every time I feel like, ‘All right, I ought to be doing really good,’ I look in my rearview mirror and Regan’s there,” Hornish said Saturday.
