Johnson gets break, wins at California
<p>FONTANA, Calif. - Jimmie Johnson was sitting on pit road when the yellow flag came out - and that is why he won at home again. The No. 48 Hendrick crew finished its work and Johnson crossed the scoring line at the end of pit road just before then-leader Jeff Burton passed him. That kept Johnson on the lead lap and the California native regained first place when everybody else, including Burton, pitted during that final caution Sunday at Auto Club Speedway.
