NASCAR Cup Series

Jimmie Johnson etched his name into the history books of NASCAR with a race victory and title victory in South Florida. The driver of the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet took the lead from Kyle Larson on the final restart of the race in overtime to win the Ford EcoBoost 400 and his record-tying seventh Sprint Cup Series championship.

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S CHEVROLET SS – RACE WINNER AND CHAMPION - DID YOU EVER DREAM THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE? "Oh my gosh, there is no, no way on earth. Just beyond words. Just didn't think the race was unfolding for us like we needed to do to be the champs, but we just kept our heads in the game."

JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion – (Finished 4th | 2nd in Championship 4) WALK US THROUGH THIS RACE AND ESPECIALLY THE CONTACT WITH CARL EDWARDS. “It was eventful to say the least. I hate being that close to a championship and not getting it. The team did a great job all day."

Records are a mark and they set something for everyone to shoot at. Jimmie and his team have done that tonight. They set a goal to get where they are and circumstances and fate made it a reality. They did what they needed to do and now they are at seven championships. Congratulations to him and his team.

An early race brush with the wall and the resulting flat tire put Ryan Blaney and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing team down a lap early, pushing the Wood Brothers’ iconic No. 21 back to a 26th-place finish in the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
