Johnson took Las Vegas Motor Speedway

After a rough day at the track with Gordon leading 111 laps, Johnson took the victory. This was his third Nextel Cup win at Las Vegas. All the drivers were concerned with the new Goodyear left side, hard tires. Gordon said he felt like he was on ice and Kenseth said he spend the weekend scared to death that he was going to wreck himself or someone else. Stewart said he thought the track owner Bruton, screwed up the once nice race track. Johnson said he understood Goodyear's desire to make the tires and drivers safer but he thought all the drivers would have benefited from testing the new tires. That opportunity was not given to them.
