Sprint Cup Series

I believe Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson were better friends earlier in Jimmie's career. Jeff did encourage Jimmie to start driving full time in the Nascar Cup Series back in 2002 and is also a co-owner of the #48 car, along with Rick Hendrick. But as time passes and Jimmie keeps on winning more races and championships, you're starting to see Jeff's frustration mount more and more.

The #28 car hasn't been used in the Nascar Sprint Cup Series since March 22, 2009. Yates Racing was the last team to use the #28. They have since merged with Richard Petty Motorports.

Kyle Petty won eight Nascar Cup Series races during his career.

Dale Jr. finished in 19th place, two laps down at Richmond on April 30, 2011. With roughly 100 laps remaining in the race, Junior's team decided not to pit for gas and went with track position hoping for a late caution. There would be no more cautions in the race, and he was forced to pit under green with 10 laps remaining, he was running in eighth place at the time.

Chad Johnston is the crew chief for NASCAR driver Martin Truex Jr. and the #56 NAPA Auto Parts car.
