Johnson grabs early LifeLock lead

Jimmie Johnson surged past polesitter Brian Vickers after nine laps in Saturday's NASCAR Sprint Cup LifeLock.com 400 and has led for the past 31 entering the night's first caution.

A sloppy pit stop, however, caused Johnson to restart at the tail while Vickers, still searching for his first victory of the season, moved up to second.
