A check around town will quickly tell you NASCAR is not on the front burner -- or any burner -- of New York sports. But there are fans to be found and though they might be troubled by the sport's status here, champion Jimmie Johnson takes it all in stride, writes David Newton.

Jimmie Johnson is the Sprint Cup champion. OK, it hasn't actually happened yet, but Las Vegas oddsmakers are so confident, they've taken the championship proposition off the board, writes David Newton.
