Jimmie Johnson Wins Sprint Cup Race at Darlington on Bosch; 200th Stock Car Series Victory for Hendrick Motorsport
Darlington, SC,
Saturday, May 12, 2012
Jimmie Johnson, winner of five straight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championships on Bosch, broke free on a restart with three laps remaining Saturday night at Darlington Raceway to win the Southern 500 and score the 200th Sprint Cup Series victory for Hendrick Motorsport. Driving his familiar Bosch-equipped, #48 Chevrolet Impala for the Hendrick team, Johnson notches his first win of the 2012 season and it was only fitting that he posted the 200th victory for team owner Rick Hendrick, who leads NASCAR's most dominant team in the Cup series. All four of the Hendrick Motorsport Chevy entries this season are running exclusively on Bosch racing spark plugs and a variety of other Bosch components. Johnson's win capped a top-five finishing order for stock cars running on Bosch. Denny Hamlin finished second in a Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry while Tony Stewart was third in his Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet, both on Bosch. Kyle Busch was fourth in another Gibbs Racing Toyota running on Bosch while the Waltrip Racing Toyota entry of Martin Truex, Jr. wound up fifth to round out the Bosch sweep. |
