MARTINSVILLE, Va. - Jimmie Johnson held off Clint Bowyer to score his eighth career Sprint Cup Series win at Martinsville Speedway in Sunday's STP Gas Booster 500.
Johnson started from the pole and led 346 laps on his way to his 62nd career series victory.
“It was just a long, hard-fought day," said Johnson, who led the most laps in a race Sunday during his career. "Martinsville is always tough. You just have to dig in and get into a rhythm and drive your own race and see what happens at the end. I feel like the fastest car won at the end."
The Daytona 500 winner gave Hendrick Motorsports its 20th Martinsville win breaking a tie with Richard Petty Motorsports.
