49 - Cup series victories by Jimmie Johnson in 294 career starts. The El Cajon, Calif., native is as dominant a driver as his sport has by winning precisely one out of every six races he enters. Four of those wins have come at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (2005-2007, 2010).
219 - Laps led by Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon -- out of the first 250 -- before Johnson passed him and took the lead for good on lap 252.
483 - Total number of laps Gordon has led in 13 Cup races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, becoming the track's all-time leader.
$405,628 - First-place prize money, out of a total purse of $6.3 million, awarded to Johnson for winning Sunday's Shelby American.
