Johnson to Race in Nationwide and Craftsman Truck Races
Jimmie Johnson will add two races to his schedule in the upcoming weeks.
In addition to his duties behind the wheel of the No. 48 Lowe’s Impala SS, Johnson is scheduled to drive the No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet fielded by JR Motorsports in the Nationwide Series race at Watkins Glen International on August 9. He also will make his Truck Series debut in the No. 81 Kobalt Tools Silverado fielded by Randy Moss Motorsports at Bristol Motor Speedway on August 20.
“Watkins Glen and Bristol are two tracks where I really want a win,” said Johnson. “I enjoy racing at Watkins Glen and for some reason always seem to be a little better there than Sonoma. We’ve had some top fives so hopefully this will put us in the win column.
He continued, “As for the trucks, I am really looking forward to that. I have never run a truck race so it should be fun. Heck, my brother Jarit has run more than me, but it’s going to be a good time. I’m excited to run Randy’s truck. Hopefully we can get them a good finish.”
