LOUDON, N.H. (AP) -- Jimmie Johnson overcame a pit accident that sent three of his crewmen flying, an angry competitor he believes was trying to wreck him and another round of fuel strategy to win Sunday at New Hampshire International Speedway.
In July, Johnson stretched his fuel for the last 93 laps on the way to victory on the 1.058-mile oval. This time, he and his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team played another strategy to perfection, giving up the lead to make a lightning fast, fuel-only stop 25 laps from the end of the Sylvania 300.
As the rest of the leaders were forced to pit for gas, Johnson moved closer and closer to the front, finally regaining the top spot on the 294th of 300 laps.
