    Jimmie Johnson Collapses After Race Saturday Night

    Jimmie Johnson finished eighth in the Federated Auto Parts 400 and immediately collapsed next to his car, apparently overcome by some combination of exhaustion, heat, and dehydration. He was taken to the infield care center for observation, but is expected to be fine.

    Even a relatively short race like the 400-lapper at Richmond can be physically demanding and Johnson is one of the fittest drivers in the field. Check Rotoworld.com for updates on this developing story.

    That race had hardly any caution periods. Mostly long constant green flag runs.

    A killer for fitness on a short track where you never get a break.

    Craven said the seats in those cars get to 130*.

    Get well, Jimmie.
