Over the last few weeks, there has been a lot of talk about Jimmie Johnson and the #48 team’s under achievements thus far in 2014. After all Johnson has never been this far into a season without scoring a win in his Sprint Cup career. However, Johnson silenced some of that senseless talk today by winning his 33rd career pole for this Sunday’s Coca Cola 600. Not only did Johnson capture the pole for one of NASCAR’s biggest races but it comes at Charlotte Motor Speedway aka Jimmie’s House. The place where Johnson has scored more wins than any driver in NASCAR history. This week Johnson will have the chance to become the first driver since 2004 to win from the pole in the Coca Cola 600. Oh and by the way the driver to accomplish that feat in 2004 was none other than Mr. Charlotte himself Jimmie Johnson. Could the stars align once again for the #48 team? We will soon find out but for now take a look at the Coca Cola 600 starting lineup.
