Jimmie Johnson WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race in Bank of America 500
Sunday October 12, 2008
WIX FILTERS LAP LEADER NOTES FOR THE BANK OF AMERICA 500 NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES RACE AT TALLADEGA SUPERSPEEDWAY, OCTOBER 11, 2008, PAGE 1.
· Jimmie Johnson led four times for a race-high 67 laps to earn WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race honors in tonight’s Bank of America 500. Johnson has taken the honor in FOUR OF THE LAST FIVE races and has led 1,369 laps in 25 races this season.
· DID YOU KNOW? Johnson has led at last one lap in the last SEVEN CONSECUTIVE NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races.
· NEW LEADER: Jimmie Johnson leads Kyle Busch by one race (10-9) for the lead in the overall WIX Filters Lap Leader standings.
· Johnson has led the most laps in the last two consecutive fall races at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
· JOHNSON QUOTES: COMMENT ON YOUR RACE TONIGHT. “The first two-thirds was good for us and then we were junk at the end. I tried to get up there. Took a lot of risks tonight trying to get as many points as I could on the 16 and trying to hang with that 31 and get by him and damn near threw it away a couple of times. And earlier in the race got some pretty big moments as well. I just hate that the last third of the race we got out in left field and couldn’t get it back.”
