TEAM CHEVY DRIVER RACE NOTES & QUOTES
NOVEMBER 2, 2014
JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S RED VEST CHEVROLET SS – RACE WINNER
WHAT DOES THIS WIN MEAN FOR YOU CONSIDERING WHAT THIS TEAM HAS BEEN THROUGH THIS SEASON?
“It’s a testament to this team and the fact that we’ll never give up. We’ll always keep fighting and keep trying to make our cars better. We’re not in the Chase and not where we want to be – fighting for the championship. But it’s a great day today with this Red Vest Lowe’s Chevrolet. I’m so happy to win this race and say thank you to all the men and women that work in the stores and wear that vest each and every day. It’s just a Chase that was tough for us but to redeem ourselves here and come out with a victory is really cool. Last weekend in Homestead where we were testing, we found some speed we’ve been missing and we found comfort in the car and got it right. We had a great test there and brought that stuff here. Old Red got it done!”
YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT WITH YOUR SIX CHAMPIONSHIPS. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON, THE EMOTIONS AND THE FIGHTING THAT IS GOING ON DURING THIS CHAMPIONSHIP RUN?
“Yeah, it’s intense and emotions run high. When someone does you wrong and you don’t have a chance to repay them on the race track, most bring it in the garage and do something there. Emotions are high. We’re all in a position to win a championship and this is what happens. I’m sure it was highly entertaining today. I can’t wait to go back and watch the tape. Once again, I’m so proud of everyone at Hendrick Motorsports – great car and great engine – Lowe’s, Chevrolet, Kobalt Tools… just a fantastic day.”
