Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus have the No. 48 team second in the standings after a fourth-place finish at New Hampshire.

But unlike leader Mark Martin, who hasn’t won at Dover since 2004, Johnson dominated the track’s 2009 spring race, becoming one of only three drivers this season to score a perfect Driver Rating.

Johnson has 15 starts at Dover with four wins, six top fives, 10 top 10s and one pole.

In the spring event at Dover this year, Johnson started eighth but didn’t take long moving to the front, leading 298 of 400 laps.

“I’m really excited about Dover,” Johnson said. “We have a new tire this time around, and I was able to participate in the tire test for that. I think it will change the handling on the Cup car some, but I think all in all, the track has been so good to me over the years, we should be in great shape. I hope to have a similar performance to the spring race.”

NASCAR Pre-Race Loop Data for the AAA 400 has Johnson ranked third in Driver Rating (108.2); sixth in Average Running Position (10.536) and fourth in Laps In The Top 15 (77.9%).
