Kevin Harvick, last year’s champion, and Jeff Gordon are among the other favorites, along with the 2012 winner, Brad Keselowski.</div> <div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="389" data-total-count="700" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 135px; max-width: 540px; width: 495px;"> This should come as no surprise to anyone who follows Nascar. Johnson has won six of the last nine Sprint Cup championships, and Gordon has four titles in his career; both race for Hendrick Motorsports. Harvick competes for Stewart-Haas Racing, which uses racecars built with Hendrick chassis and engines. Harvick’s boss, Tony Stewart, won the Cup in 2011 in the same Hendrick equipment.</div> <br /> <br /> <aside class="marginalia related-coverage-marginalia nocontent robots-nocontent" data-marginalia-type="sprinkled" role="complementary" style="background-color: white; border-top-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-top-style: dotted; border-top-width: 1px; clear: right; color: #333333; float: right; font-family: nyt-cheltenham, georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 45px 7px; padding-top: 10px; width: 300px;"><div class="nocontent robots-nocontent"> </div> </aside></div>
