Jimmie Johnson on the All-Star Race
“Without a doubt you know that you beat the best of the best. With the varying strategies that take place and the segments and how many laps and all the different things we've had over the years, there hasn't been one set path to get there. It's a very rewarding night, a night the team really enjoys. There's a different atmosphere with the pressure being off and a million reasons to have fun after.”
No. 48 team crew chief Chad Knaus on the All-Star Race
"If the All-Star Race paid one dollar, I'd still want to win it."
PATRIOTIC UNVEIL: Lowe’s, in conjunction with NASCAR.com and NASCAR Illustrated, digitally unveiled the No. 48 Lowe’s Patriotic Chevrolet SS scheme Jimmie Johnson will pilot this weekend.
