Four-time defending NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson broke his streak of bad luck here Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway when he won the Food City 500 race driving his Purolator-equipped Lowe's Chevrolet Impala. Racing for the powerful Hendrick Motorsports team, Johnson moved from sixth to first in three laps late in the event for his first win at the tricky 533-mile bullring oval track. The win moved Johnson into the third spot in Cup points, a strong position for the team early in the '10 season.
