Jimmie Johnson: Eighth-Place at Phoenix

Sunday at ISM Raceway, Johnson secured his second Top-10 finish in the first four races of the 2019 season with an eighth-place result in the Ticket Guardian 500, hendrickmotorsports.com reports.

Analysis:

Johnson bucked some recent trends at the Arizona oval, and turned in a Top-10 finish in the Ticket Guardian 500. Good pit strategy would play a part as Kevin Meendering made several different unorthodox calls on pit road. "Definitely a solid day for the Ally Chevrolet," Johnson said. "These guys have been working so hard at Hendrick Motorsports to get us more and more and we took a good step in the right direction." The finish snapped a three-race Top-10 drought for Johnson at ISM Raceway.
