Johnson gets his Michigan victory
BROOKLYN, MICH. — Jimmie Johnson has finally won a NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway.
The six-time series champion won Sunday for the first time in 25 Cup starts at MIS, outlasting pole winner Kevin Harvick by just over a second. It was Johnson’s third victory in four races — and the fifth in a row for Chevrolet and Hendrick Motorsports.
Brad Keselowski finished third Sunday after two straight runner-up showings at Dover and Pocono. Paul Menard was fourth, followed by Kasey Kahne, Gordon and Earnhardt.
