When we came to Texas Motor Speedway, we were promised a Wild Asphalt Circus by Eddie Gossage and the race on Sunday night delivered.

Johnson clocked in a lap of 19.244 seconds, 98.400 mph, for the 30th pole of his career, first of 2013.

While Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano refused to let each other win, it'd be Kyle Busch sneaking by them both to score the victory in the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway.
