The key to winning any title is consistency, and #48-Jimmie Johnson and his team are looking to tackle the only weakness in the program: road courses. This year, Johnson says, we’re making an effort to get me some more experience testing some different tracks that aren’t necessarily NASCAR tracks but ones that I can get some more road course experience. Weather permitting, Johnson will test this week at Virginia International Raceway, a 3.27-mile road course in Alton, VA.( Sporting News )(6-2-2003) UPDATE: At least five Winston Cup drivers tested the Virginia International Raceway Roadcourse Tuesday in preparation for the June 22nd Dodge Save-Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma. Among those turning laps were #24-Jeff Gordon, #48-Jimmie Johnson, #20-Tony Stewart, #18-Bobby Labonte and #22-Ward Burton. Rain cut short the day’s activities.( PRN’s Garage Pass Radio Show )(6-3-2003)
