Seven-time Texas Motor Speedway winner Jimmie Johnson went to the 1.5-mile track Monday. Let's check out a few details.
For the most part, though, Johnson’s oval debut seemed to go swimmingly despite being in a car that “drives way different” than a stock car.
During an interview he said “I need to pretend as if I’ve never been here before and then after a lot of laps, maybe pull a few small things from my NASCAR days to apply to the Indy car”
For his support, his teammate Scott Dixon shook down the No. 48 Dallara-Honda for Johnson to drive, and team consultant and driving coach Dario Franchitti offered pointers.
