Jimmie Johnson drives during the NASCAR Sprint Cup series auto race, Sunday, June 1, 2014, at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del.DOVER, Del. – Jimmie Johnson handled the pothole at Dover the same way he disposed of a rough patch to start the season.
He won.
A week after shaking off a lengthy winless streak by his championship standards, Johnson raced his way to another routine romp at Dover International Speedway. He followed last week’s victory in the Coca-Cola 600 with another sensational run at Dover, extending his track victory record to nine.
Johnson was the class of the field in a race red-flagged for 22 minutes to repair a pothole in the concrete track.
“Whatever they put in the pothole, it worked awfully well,” Johnson said.
