On Monday, Johns was preparing to run a late model stock car at Peach State Speedway this weekend when opportunity came knocking in the form of a ride in the #89 Lafferty Performance Chevy entry this Saturday at Talladega. While Saturday’s Mountain Dew 250 at Talladega will be Johns’ first-ever NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series career start, it won’t be his first time racing at the massive 2.66-mile Alabama oval. “I raced at Talladega in the ARCA event last fall,” said Johns, who finished fourth in the event behind the wheel of a Roulo Brothers entry.(RichardJohns.com)(9-30-2008)
