DETROIT (AP) — Jimmie Johnson has struggled to get around the Raceway at Belle Isle Park and at times has been more than 5 seconds off the pace of the leader.
The most challenging track the seven-time NASCAR champion has ever raced was not kind to Johnson in Saturday's first race of a two-day doubleheader: Johnson finished 24th, 14 laps down, because a sensor on his throttle pedal had to be replaced during a lengthy pit stop.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jimmie Johnson was inside a sauna at 120 degrees and climbing as part of an hourlong sweat session prepping him to race on hot summer days.
