Jimmie Johnson sprints to victory; sixth win at Fontana comes in super finish

Jimmie Johnson survived fuel issues, tire problems and the challenge of Kevin Harvick on Sunday to win NASCAR's Sprint Cup race at Fontana.

Johnson took the white flag and was never headed en route to his sixth victory at Auto Club Speedway. A native Californian, Johnson won the race with a great push on the final restart in a green-white-checkered finish.
