Has anyone noticed how many of NASCAR’s “elite” drivers are figuring out how much fun they can have battling Grand Am’s best on a road course?

Just this past week the Brumos 250 at Daytona was run and guess who was one of the drivers of the Lowe’s Daytona Prototype car? None other than Jimmy Johnson! Johnson was quoted as saying that after the 2007 24 Hours of Daytona race, he promptly told everyone in the NASCAR paddock how much fun he had and he intends to drive a DP again in the 24 Hour race in 2008. Jimmy credits Tony Stewart and other road course drivers with creating the interest and Johnson says he wants to drive up toáfour DP races per year to coincide with his NASCAR schedule.

Road courses are finally getting their due!!! Look for more oval track regulars to take notice and grab seat time at road courses across the US, which means road course demand will increase.

Hmmm……winding hills and eleven months of sunshine — I think the Bergrennenring will be a great practice venue!
