"It's only three races in.''

Far from sounding worried, frustrated or the least bit anxious, reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champ Jimmie Johnson reminds us that perhaps everyone should settle down a bit. There's a lot of racing left.

Three races has given us plenty of feel-good stories, such as David Reutimann's career highlight reel, but putting three races together in a 26-week regular season doesn't make the second-year Cup driver a championship favorite yet. And just because Johnson is ranked 19th, don't write him off.
