TEAM CHEVY DRIVER PRESS CONF. TRANSCRIPT
MAY 6, 2016
DOUG DUCHARDT, GENERAL MANAGER HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS, ON JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S CHEVROLET SS ISSUE DURING FINAL PRACTICE
WHAT HAPPENED?
“It appears the No. 48 got into a similar condition that the No. 5 (Kasey Kahne) got into at Phoenix; and when it did that, it pumped some oil up into the intake manifold and that’s where the smoke came from. Based on the experience we had with Kasey’s engine in Phoenix, we felt comfortable checking the engine over, running it, getting the oil out of the top of the engine, and sending him back out. Jimmie went back out during practice. We will continue to monitor, and we have no plans on changing the engine at this time.”
