H.A. "Humpy" Wheeler says it will be Jimmie Johnson, who has driven his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports car to victory in four of the first 11 Nextel Cups points races this season who will win NASCAR's upcoming Nextel All-Star Challenge at Lowe's Motor Speedway.  "This race is Jimmie Johnson's to lose," Wheeler proclaimed.  If Johnson can avoid losing it and fulfill Wheeler's prognostication in the process, he will join Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon as the only three-time winners of NASCAR's annual All-Star event, having also won it last year and in 2003.  He also would take home the top prize of $1 million.
