Johnson Splits with Pulliam - Extends SoBo Point Lead

South Boston, VA --

Chalk up another win in a twin for Justin Johnson.

With track conditions a problem earlier in the day, qualifying was cancelled and the field was lined up by points, putting 2009 track champion and current point leader Justin Johnson on the pole for race 1 of a twin 75 Lap doubleheader. Due to second and third practice being cancelled, as well as qualifying, Johnson's car wasn't set up exactly as it needed to be, and Johnson spent the majority of the first race far too tight. Stacy Puryear would take the early lead, with Johnson falling back to third behind Lee Pulliam. Pulliam would rally past Puryear for the lead and win the first race, with Johnson never falling further back than third.

With a three-car invert after the first race, Johnson again was on the pole. After some changes made to the setup of the car, Johnson's car was more free and a bit easier to motor around the historic .4 mile track. Again, Puryear would take the early lead, but this time Johnson would move to the point on lap 3 and never look back. Despite a few late cautions and a potential steering problem on the FDJ Motorsports machine, Johnson held off the advances of Puryear, Pulliam and David Latour, winning the second race. The win keeps Johnson perfect for the year in second-half races.

Justin Johnson Takes Another at Motor Mile

With South Boston Speedway taking the night off, it was time for another trip up to Motor Mile Speedway for 2009 SoBo track champion Justin Johnson.

Having practiced well all weekend, Johnson was confident his car would qualify well. A starting spot on the outside of Row 1 would verify those thoughts, as the FDJ Motorsports machine started on the outside of Motor Mile Speedway regular Tommy Lemons Jr.

Early on it was Lemons setting the pace, while Johnson followed. Johnson made a mid-race challenge for the lead on Lap 70, but had that move blocked by Lemons. It would be another 30 laps until Johnson made another move for the lead, this time on Lap 103. This move would prove to be successful, and Johnson would lead the majority of the laps from there out.

A late caution with Lemons in front by a nose led to a restart with Lemons first and Johnson second. Johnson would ride behind Lemons for the majority of the final 9 green flag laps. Johnson would make one final charge under Lemons, and as the duo came off turn 4, contact was made, and both Lemons and Johnson crossed the line almost attached, with Johnson getting the advantage at the end. Lemons Jr. would cross second by hundredths of a second, with Mike Looney third, Derrick Lancaster fourth and Nate Monteith fifth.

Johnson, Pulliam Split at South Boston

On a nght where South Boston Speedway had its largest field of the season, Justin Johnson once again added to his point total, winning the second half of a twin 75 lap double-header.

In the night's first race, Johnson qualified 8th, and would have a tough time moving through the field at the tight 4/10 mile track. By lap 17, Johnson had moved to sixth, but had trouble moving up from there as the leaders raced hard in front of him. By 25 to go, Johnson had moved to fifth. A late caution would give Tommy Lemons Jr. and David Latour both a shot at the point-leader, but Johnson would hold them off for a solid top-five finish. Up front, Lee Pulliam won his first race of the year, over 2009 national champion Philip Morris, Stacy Puryear and Woody Howard.

With a five-car invert, Justin Johnson sat on the pole for the night's second event, but it would be Woody Howard and Philip Morris pulling out to first and second early on. Johnson would battle back, taking the lead for good on lap 56. Morris, Puryear, Michael Hardin and Latour would round out the top five.

The win is the 8th for Johnson on the season. He currently holds a 108 point lead on second place Stacy Puryear and a 149 point lead on Deac McCaskill, who's third.

Johnson Takes 1 of 2 at South Boston

Memorial Day weekend saw another successful night of racing for Justin Johnson and the Puryear Tank Lines Toyota team.

In the first of two 75 lap events, Justin qualified mid-pack and quickly moved his way to the front. Track conditions would play a factor, though, with Johnson unable to put his FDJ Motorsports machine to the apron of the track. This made passing difficult, and catching the leader Stacy Puryear was of the utmost difficulty. At the end of the race, though, Johnson has secured a 3rd place finish.

"Passing is tough with the track being how it is" said Johnson, predicting that if he were to sit on the pole, he would dominate the second event.

Puryear drew a "3" for the invert for the second race, putting Johnson on the pole. True to his word, Johnson would lead every lap despite a late charge from Lee Pulliam. The win made Johnson a 7-time winner on the season, helping him maintain a third-place spot in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series points.
