NASCAR By The Numbers: Las Vegas Shelby American

Las Vegas Review-Journal

49 - Cup series victories by Jimmie Johnson in 294 career starts. The El Cajon, Calif., native is as dominant a driver as his sport has by winning precisely one out of every six races he enters. Four of those wins have come at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (2005-2007, 2010).


219 - Laps led by Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon -- out of the first 250 -- before Johnson passed him and took the lead for good on lap 252.

483 - Total number of laps Gordon has led in 13 Cup races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, becoming the track's all-time leader.

$405,628 - First-place prize money, out of a total purse of $6.3 million, awarded to Johnson for winning Sunday's Shelby American.

2:49:53 - Time of Sunday's race, the second-fastest of 12 Cup events at Las Vegas Motor Speedway that went the distance. The fastest race was the inaugural event in 1998, which took 2 hours, 43 minutes and 58 seconds.

3:27.012 - Shortest aggregate time, in minutes, set by driver Martin Truex Jr., spent pitting during Sunday's race.

141.45 - Jimmie Johnson's average winning speed in miles per hour.

23 - Number of pit road penalties assessed, including one by Las Vegas native Kyle Busch for speeding.

16 - Finishing position of Dale Earnhardt Jr., who placed second at Daytona in the Cup series' first race of the season and then was 32nd in Fontana, Calif., last week.
