Jason Johnson Wins at Northwest Fred Brownfield Memorial Sprint Car Race

21 Jul 2010

Johnson went on to win in commanding fashion over a very stout field of 59 competitors.

Louisiana's Jason Johnson is definitely riding comfy aboard the momentum train so far this season. He clearly enjoyed the cool Northwest air recently too, as he completed a sweep of the weekend's Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car race presented by K&N Filters at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington, by winning Friday's preliminary and taking the $10,092 winner's share in Saturday night's 35-lap Fourth Annual Fred Brownfield Memorial Championship feature event.

The sweep at the Northwest Fred Brownfield Memorial gave Jason Johnson his 46th career ASCS National triumph.

"I can't say enough about my team, they gave me a great car all weekend and I was just the beneficiary," explained a humble Johnson in victory lane after his 46th career ASCS National triumph. Johnson is the 2008 series champion and with this victory Jason Johnson Racing (JJR) now has ten wins for the year. Piloting his Don Ott powered Haynes/Pope Transportation number 41 Maxim; the "Ragin' Cajun" bested a very competitive field of 59 contenders.

This is the view most drivers have of the JJR Don Ott powered number 41 car this season.

Johnson added the Brownfield Memorial sweep to his Eagle Nationals victory last month, slightly upping his advantage in the $60,000 championship points chase over the defending champion.

"Developing our new Jason Johnson Racing team for the 2010 season remains our main focus, and to be in contention for victories night in night out," explains Johnson.

"One of the most important ingredients to having a successful team is to assemble great people who believe in each other and work well together. As a team, we here at JJR, are having a blast at the moment riding the momentum from race-to-race."

"At the moment, our chance of the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour Championship presented by K&N is very realistic. We are currently in the lead of the points battle, which is exactly where we would like to be. Our focus is to continue to winning races though and let the points work themselves out. But winning the championship again is definitely in the back of our mind."

Johnson says that K&N provides JJR with the proper tools to get the job done right by providing the finest filtration system in the universe.

"Racing on dirt tracks night after night, the K&N air boxes keep our Don Ott engines clean for maxim performance each and every night. After each event, our JJR crew disassembles and easily cleans our K&N air box while replacing our oil filters for preventive maintenance - that's it."

This coming weekend JJR will make the trip south to Cottage Grove, Oregon, before heading back out east for the biggest events of the year in Knoxville Iowa - the 360 and 410 Knoxville Nationals.
