The number four became a huge part of Jimmie Johnson's life Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points leader won his fourth race at PIR, his fourth Chase for the Championship race this season and is now on the cusp of winning his unprecedented fourth consecutive series championship at the season finale next Sunday in South Florida.
