WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. − Jimmie Johnson has finished his stint behind the wheel in the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen International.
In just under an hour in a Daytona Prototype in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, Johnson held his own on Saturday after replacing Jon Fogarty in the No. 99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing Chevrolet Riley just over 3 hours into the race.
Fogarty entered the pits with the lead, but after the driver change Johnson left in second trailing leader Memo Rojas by 4 seconds.
Johnson, racing the long course at The Glen for the first time in his career, lost nearly 10 seconds on Rojas because of difficulties negotiating traffic. But after banging doors with the No. 75 of Tracy Krohn, Johnson managed to cut the lead back to 7.9 seconds 24 laps into his run, fell back again because of traffic, and exited the car in second place when a full-course caution flew six laps later.
