3:28 PM The press folks are scrambling to find bio information on Allen Johnson, his car bearing a slashed red circle and the label "The Other Dodge" since he's not part of "Team Mopar." But his string runs out here, the margin of victory = 0.008 seconds, approximately 2.3 feet, losing much of that in the first 60 feet with a 1.085 60' time.
