Jimmie Johnson ready to return to winning ways, conquer road course

Jimmie Johnson is a six-time Sprint Cup Series champion with 77 career wins in the series. His success ranks him among the greatest drivers ever to compete in stock car racing.

Yet he still finds room for improvement — especially when it comes to road courses. In Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, he seeks his second win at the track — and second on any road course.

Sunday's race begins about 3:20 p.m. ET, covering 110 laps on a 1.99-mile road course.

He won his Sonoma race in 2010 and admits that when he came into NASCAR, he thought these courses would allow him to showcase his unique skill set.
