NASCAR Cup Series

Trevor Bayne and the crew of his No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion struggled with an ill-handling car through the early portions of Sunday’s AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Long green-flag runs hampered the crew in its attempts to diagnose the problem, which also caused tire issues that forced unscheduled pit stops that led to lost laps.

Five-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, Jimmie Johnson, No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet SS, dominated the AAA Texas 500 by leading 255 of the 334 laps to earn his sixth victory of the season. It is the 66th win of Johnson’s career and his third at Texas Motor Speedway. The win moved Johnson back into the points lead by seven markers with only two races remaining in the 2013 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S CHEVROLET SS – RACE WINNER - "It was all of that. We came here and tested and did an awesome job of understanding what I needed in the car and what was going to create speed."

BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion (Finished 6th) – “We had an okay day. I thought we had decent speed at times and then we were leading at one point and the yellow flag came and we pitted and came out ninth which ended our shot of being able to derail Jimmie if there even was one. His car was so much faster than the field. It was pretty embarrassing to be quite honest. That is the way it goes and we will work to get better.”
