He is fresh off sweeping a weekend double this past Friday and Saturday night, claiming victory at Elk City Speedway in Elk City, Oklahoma and Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo, Texas. The latter was his tenth victory in the southern sport modified divisions four year history.
If you thought it couldn't get any better than that, he pulled out his NCRA modified this past Sunday night at Enid Speedway in Enid, Oklahoma and claimed his first career tour victory in that division. In the previous four series events that he has attended, he was won them all. Two of Johnson's victories came here at 81 Speedway.
This race will be the sixth event held at the track since the tours inception back in 2009. Winners include Johnson (2), Smith (2) and Jeff Autry.
