In the front half of the 2014 season with all its new rules, some folks were worried how queit Jimmie Johnson had been, with no wins.  Now, three wins later, I don't think they're wondering any more.

Jimmie Johnson won the Quicken Loans 400, making this Michigan win his 69th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory.

Prior to the start of the race, the following cars dropped to the rear of the field for the reasons indicated: #33 (engine change).

Ryan Truex failed to qualify.  But qualifying, with its new format, provided a lot of speed marks over the 200 range also.  It's been a stellar weekend.
