Darlingtonban történelmet írt a Hendrick Motorsport 200. Győzelmével!
Az elmúlt hétvégén egy fantasztikus futamon sikerült Jimmie Johnson-nak megszerezni karrierje során az 56. és csapatának a 200. győzelmet! Nagyon taktikusan versenyzet végig és az utolsó biztonsági autós szakasz után nagyszerű rajtot véve intették le elsőnek!
