The King is back. No more, no less. The prudent, steady driving together with the correct strategy, the error-free run and the finish on the podium let the five time champion of the NASCAR Sprint Cup become a leader in points.
Jimmie Johnson has never won at Watkins Glen but his result means a lot more than the victory. His 777 points are the surety of taking back the crown.
Against the background of technical problems, rain, out offs, spins and, as it was being said, the oil on the track, it seemed that only the team #48’s representative stayed calm. Junior’s mistake, that will obviously have an influence on the ticket prices at TMS, the incident between Keselowski and Kyle Busch, the crazy finish of Keselowsky and Ambrose – that was the premier series event Finger Lakes 355 at The Glen. But all this is not the most important now.
And the most important is that there are the only few races left till the Chase and Johnson looks strong as ever.
