Nice Gesture: Rookie of the year frontrunner #48-Jimmy Johnson has been running a small decal in memory of Blaise Alexander all season. Johnson and the Montoursville native who died in an ARCA crash last season at Charlotte were close friends when they raced together on the BGN circuit. This weekend at Pocono, Johnson’s car will feature a larger sticker near the rear tires that reads, “In Loving Memory of Blaise Alexander.” “I’m very close to his family and some of his friends went to his parents and said, ‘Let’s do something for the Pocono race,'” Johnson said. “This is the last place he won, and this being his hometown area, it just made sense to do it here.”(Citizens Voice)(7-27-2002)
