Jimmie Johnson became the first Sprint Cup driver to score the hat trick in 2014 by winning his 3rd race of the season and 1st race of his career at Michigan International Speedway today in the Quicken Loans 400. Johnson played the strategy card to perfection as the closing laps were filled with fuel and tire strategies. However, the #48 car was one of the most solid cars of the day and that #48 team proves once again that they can never be counted out. Kevin Harvick arguably had the fastest car of the day which has been the case several times this year. Harvick lead the most laps of the afternoon (63) but got behind on pit road and ran out of time to come home with a 2nd place finish. That’s it for today but check back next week when the Sprint Cup Series visits Sonoma for some road racing. Take a look at the Quickens Loans 400 finishing order:
