KERRY THARP: Let’s go to our post-race for today’s 12th annual GEICO 400, and our race runner up is Jimmie Johnson. He’s also second in points right now, three behind Brad Keselowski. Jimmie drives the No. 48 Lowe’s Kobalt Tools Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. Your thoughts about the how the team performed out there today.
JIMMIE JOHNSON: Yeah, just really proud of the team on all fronts. Overcame some adversity through or practice sessions, sat on pole, led a lot of laps today, fell some on pit road, race strategy, you name it, we had a very, very solid day.
