How quickly the tide can turn.

All summer it looked like a Hendrick Motorsports driver would take the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, but now a new team has seized the title of favorite.

With victories in four of the past five races, including the last three in a row, Team Penske drivers Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano have asserted the racing outfit as the organization to beat moving forward in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Keselowski (5) and Logano (4) lead the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in wins and have each locked themselves into the Contender Round with victories in the first two Chase races.

Reversal Of Fortune: Johnson Quickly Causing People To Rethink ‘14

Having gone from a winless driver to a winner of two races in a row, Jimmie Johnson no longer looks like a struggling reigning series champion. Suddenly, he looks completely capable of winning a record-tying seventh title.

Don’t be surprised if he reinforces that new-fangled notion on Sunday at Pocono Raceway where he comes in as defending champion of the Pocono 400 and winner of three races overall at the often-precarious “Tricky Triangle” – the race track with only three turns, almost no banking and plenty of history.
