Kevin Harvick has a cushy 140-point lead in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings. He had a productive third-place finish in the Sprint Cup Series race at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma on Sunday.

Only problem is, Jimmie Johnson won the race. It was his fourth victory of the season. The way the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup playoffs are set up, drivers get bonus points for wins.

If the Chase started today, Denny Hamlin would be in the lead with his five Cup wins. Johnson would be second. Kurt and Kyle Busch would be tied for third. Harvick, with his lone win at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, would be fifth.
