BY THE NUMBERS NASCAR Sprint Cup points leader Jimmie Johnson will make his 250th career series start Saturday night at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, the same track where he made his Cup debut in 2001. Johnson, who has a 72-point lead over Carl Edwards, is hoping to become only the second man in history to win three consecutive Sprint Cup championships.
“I can’t believe this weekend is my 250th start,” said Johnson, who has five victories at Lowe’s. “I've been very lucky in my career that I've had one sponsor, Lowe's, since I started racing in the Sprint Cup Series. It somehow seems fitting that we'll be able to celebrate the occasion together at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. I’m fortunate to be able to do what I love for a living. I’m so thankful for the success this team has had. I also know that I wouldn’t be where I am today without the hard work of Chad (Knaus, crew chief) and my guys. This sport is a total team effort and I am so lucky to have such an awesome team.”
In a four-year
“Since the track has been repaved, we end up competitive at the end of the race to get things right, but we’ve had tough practice sessions in the past and tough tests in the past,” said Johnson. “The test that we had a couple of weeks ago didn’t go as we wanted it to there. But I have a lot of confidence in the team and I know when we get into race conditions that our stuff will be where it needs to be. If it were the old track, I would feel more confident about it. But right now I think of it almost like I would Texas. I’ve won there, but it’s still a very challenging track. I don’t know where we’re going to be and I’ve just got to show up ready for anything.”
