Johnson also was fastest in the opening round of NASCAR Sprint Cup practice earlier in the morning at BMS.

During Happy Hour, Johnson’s No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet had a best lap of 122.287 miles per hour, which was enough to best Juan Pablo Montoya in the No. 42 Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Chevrolet, which was timed at 122.046 mph.

Third-fast in the session was the No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing Ford Fusion of Matt Kenseth, who cranked off a lap of 121.443 mph.

Montoya’s teammate, Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray, was fourth, with. pole-sitter Joey Logano completing the top five.

The second five was Mark Martin, AJ Allmendinger, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne and Regan Smith.

Tomorrow’s race will be No. 5 of 36 on the Sprint Cup calendar for 2010. Kevin Harvick is the current points leader, 26 points up on Kenseth and 59 up on Biffle. Johnson is 74 points back in fourth.
