He was as relaxed as ever, nibbling on a chocolate candy bar and gazing out the window of his second-floor office at Hendrick Motorsports. Jimmie Johnson was about to meet several hundred members of the media for the first time on the 2010 NASCAR media tour, which unofficially kicks off the season, but now in the quiet of his spacious office, he assessed his chances for winning an unprecedented fifth straight Cup title this year.
"I feel as good about our team now as I ever have," Johnson said last Wednesday afternoon. "We have more depth on our team than ever before and we've got everyone coming back. And when I look back at last year, there are so many tracks where we lost points we shouldn't have, places like Bristol and Kansas and Texas. I know this: Somebody is going to have to beat us and out-race us, because we're not going to leave anything on the table."
