Can anybody stop Johnson's dominance? Jeremy Mayfield Jeremy Mayfield

JARROD BREEZE A story that dominated the headlines for days on end and is far from being resolved is Jeremy Mayfield's fight against NASCAR. Given how the court systems work in this country, it could play out for years (just ask the folks at Kentucky Speedway).

It should be noted that Mayfield made a critical error in judgment. Did he or didn't he take methamphetamines remains at the root of subsequent lawsuits filed on behalf of both parties. But Mayfield's decision to take NASCAR to task has in effect ended his driving days, regardless of his guilt or innocence. He'll have a better chance of clearing his name than ever again starting in a NASCAR-sanctioned race.

DAVID CARAVIELLO Nobody in their right minds doubts the talent of Jimmie Johnson, who is the first driver to win four consecutive championships in NASCAR's premier division. But would even Johnson be able to achieve a feat at an organization other than Hendrick Motorsports?

We all thought this team had reached its zenith two years ago, when Johnson and Jeff Gordon battled for the title. Now the Hendrick fold has one-upped even itself, posting the first 1-2-3 points finish involving three drivers from the same organization. Mark Martin finished second behind Johnson, with Gordon third. All three figure to be prime championship contenders again next season.

Are there no limits to how much higher Hendrick can go? Are there are any teams out there that can match their depth? Is there any telling how long Hendrick, now with a record-tying nine Cup championships, can stay on top?
