Nascar – Jimmie Johnson king of the Dover Monster Mile

Jimmie Johnson once again distinguished himself on the Monster Mile in Dover by winning for the eighth time on this oval, beating the previous records established by Richard Petty and Bobby Allison. The Hendrick Motorsports driver led more than half the race to win ahead of pole sitter Dale Earnhardt Jr, who failed to beat his teammate despite choosing to change all four tires during his last pass. by the pit lane, compared to only two for the winner. Joey Logano (Penske Racing) completes the top three and prevents the Hendrick from signing a hat-trick with Jeff Gordon, who finally takes the checkered flag in fourth position.

Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing) termine cinquième après avoir enfin réussi à prendre l’avantage sur son compagnon d’écurie Matt Kesenth. Le lauréat des deux premières manches du Chase for The Sprint Cup Series a terminé au septième rang derrière Kevin Harvick (Richard Childress Racing). Le pilote de la Toyota n°20 conserve cependant de peu la tête du classement général devant Jimmie Johnson. Ryan Newman (Stewart-Haas Racing), Greg Biffle (Roush Fenway Racing) and Clint Bowyer (Michael Waltrip Racing) complete a top ten composed entirely of Chasers. On the other hand, Carl Edwards (Roush Fenway Racing) lost big, since the failure of his rear suspension caused him to fall seven places in the Championship.
