Jimmie Johnson held off Kevin Harvick and won the weather-delayed SpongeBob SquarePants 400 at Kansas Speedway on Saturday night.

Jimmie Johnson won his sixth Sprint Cup Series championship in eight years at Homestead-Miami Speedway, as Denny Hamlin held off Matt Kenseth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. to win the Ford EcoBoost 400 on Sunday.
