A car length here, a lane change there and one incredible pit call.
No matter what it was, Jimmie Johnson and the No. 48 team seemed to do it right on a mild then wild Sunday afternoon at Talladega Superspeedway — even when it looked like holding par in the point standings wasn’t going to happen as the laps clicked off and the drama kept rising around the 2.66-mile wildcard.
