Ambrose's mishap helps Johnson record first road course win

Autoracing Betting Lines

06/20/2010 - Sonoma, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jimmie Johnson benefited from Marcos Ambrose's mistake during a caution period in the closing laps to win Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway.

Ambrose, who was attempting to win his first career Sprint Cup Series race, held the lead during a caution on lap 104, but the Australian driver did not maintain his running position after he shut off his engine and slowed on the track in an effort to conserve fuel.

According to NASCAR rules, drivers must maintain the caution speed in order to keep their running spot.

That allowed Johnson to reclaim the lead for good with six laps remaining. He then pulled away from second-place runner Robby Gordon on the final restart and beat Gordon at the finish by three seconds for his first NASCAR road course win.

Johnson, who led a race-high 54 laps, recorded his fourth victory of the season and the 51st of his Cup career.

Kevin Harvick, the points leader, finished third, while Kasey Kahne, the defending race winner, and Jeff Gordon rounded out the top-five.

Ambrose wound up finishing sixth.
