81. April 9, 2017, Texas Motor Speedway
After wondering aloud if he had used up all his luck at Homestead-Miami Speedway five months earlier, Johnson silenced all the doubters who questioned his tough-luck start to the 2017 season. After a spin in qualifying, he had to start at the rear of the field. But he stormed his way back, took the lead from Joey Logano on Lap 318 of 334 and held on for his track-record seventh victory at Texas.
