Nascar: With qualifying rained out Jimmie Johnson will take the pole for Saturday's cup race at Lowe's Motor Speedway, a place where the two time defending Cup Champ has practically owned since joining the Series. But this track has also been kind to the likes of Tony Stewart, who finally snapped his winless streak at Talladega last weekend. Can he go back to back or will someone else take the checker flag?
