Johnson aiming to hit the ground running in Chase
FONTANA, Calif. -- Jimmie Johnson says he's learned a lesson from his Chase experience last season.
It's all about peaking at the right time.
"With the testing we've done and the testing we're getting ready to do, I feel we will catch back up," said Johnson.
After starting the season with seven consecutive, top-eight finishes, Johnson has just one such effort in his past six starts, a fifth at Watkins Glen International last month. Regardless of that, Johnson still is assured a spot in the Chase for the Nextel Cup as long as he starts Sunday's race at California and next Saturday's race at Richmond.
Johnson says even if the finishes haven't shown it lately, his team will be ready for the Chase.
