· JOHNSON QUOTES: “Great performance all day long. We led a lot of laps and hopefully we led the most. We did? Sweet. Just a strong performance, great stops. We had to work on the car throughout the day and make some adjustments. Chad [Knaus, crew chief] made some great adjustments at the end that really got us on par with the 99. I thought I was sitting in great shape with two to go. Had a nice comfortable lead and the next thing you know that 99 is all over me and I had a battle on my hands. Just a great day and exciting finish for the fans. I’m not looking forward to Talladega but I’m looking forward to everything else after Talladega.”
