Ron I have noticed that the ground level cameras tend to avoid showing the grand stands that are not very full but those overhead shots from the blimp did show just how many empty seats there were.
As far as Jimmy Johnson goes, I think that he is a very talented driver and his team is very well prepared. However, it almost seems like NASCAR has decided that he will be the champ again this year and that team gets some breaks that the others just don't get. Look at the race several weeks ago when he was down 3 laps. NASCAR promptly brought out 3 cautions allowing him to get back all 3 laps and also allowing his team to repair some damage on the car. It is difficult to prove favoritism however as half of all NASCAR cautions are bogus anyway.
