Crazy. That’s the only way to describe Sunday’s AAA 400 Drive for Autism at Dover International Speedway.
The bottom line — Jimmie Johnson winning here for the 11th time — was as predictable as death and taxes, but absolutely nothing else was on a long afternoon. While it’s true that Johnson is money at the Monster Mile, this was hardly a dominating performance.
In a 406-lap race, Johnson led just seven laps, passing Kyle Larson on the final overtime restart to take his third victory in the first 13 races of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season.
