NASCAR Sprint Cup championship: Vegas odds, history point in Jimmie Johnson's favor

Jimmie Johnson's been here before, entering the final race of the season with a chance to capture a NASCAR championship. Although he's never won under the new Chase format, Johnson is a six-time Cup champion who dominates on 1.5-mile tracks such as Homestead-Miami Speedway, where Sunday's final race will be run.

For these reasons and his recent success, Johnson is favored to win his seventh championship, which would tie Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt as the only drivers to win NASCAR's top prize seven times.
