Matt Kenseth won Saturday night's Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but it may not have been the story of the night.
With 18 laps to go, five-time defending NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson got loose after close racing with Ryan Newman and began to spin, then smashed his car head-first into the wall.
The result may have crushed Johnson's chances of another title. He finished 34th and dropped to eighth in the standings – 35 points behind Chase leader Carl Edwards.
Kyle Busch finished second to Kenseth and Edwards was third.
