Jimmie Johnson raced his way to another routine romp at Dover International Speedway.
He followed last week's victory in the Coca-Cola 600 with another sensational run at Dover, extending his track victory record to nine. Johnson was the class of the field in a race red-flagged for 22 minutes because of a pothole in the concrete track.
