Joseph Srigley of TobyChristie reports that for NASCAR Cup Series champions Jimmie Johnson and Martin Truex, Jr., there are no more concerns about failing to qualify for ‘The Great American Race’.
Johnson, piloting the No. 84 Carvana Toyota Camry XSE for LEGACY MOTOR CLUB, and Truex, behind the wheel of the No. 56 Bass Pro Shops Toyota Camry XSE for TRICON Garage, were the two fastest of the nine unchartered entries during Wednesday’s single-vehicle qualifying session from Daytona International Speedway.
Truex, the 2017 champion of the NASCAR Cup Series, ranked 22nd-quickest overall with a lap of 49.641 seconds (181.302mph), a time more than a tenth of a second faster than Jimmie Johnson, who was ranked 29th-quickest with a lap of 49.783 seconds (180.785mph).
