” DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Jimmie Johnson, sidelined almost before the race began here a year ago, made sure he was around for the finish at this year’s Daytona 500.
Not only was the five-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion around, he and his Hendrick Motorsports team were celebrating in Victory Lane.
Johnson, 37, pulled away from Brad Keselowski on a final restart with six laps remaining in the 55th running of the Daytona 500, then staved off the late charges of runner-up Dale Earnhardt Jr. and third-place Mark Martin to win the Great American Race for the second time.”
