Fort Worth, Texas. - Jimmie Johnson vuelve a lanzar un mensaje a Brad Keselowski tras lograr la Pole para la AAA Texas 500 del domingo en el Texas Motor Speedway: aquí manda el 48. El piloto de Hendrick Motorsports empieza el octavo fin de semana del Chase for the Sprint Cup de la misma manera que el séptimo, comenzando la carrera desde la primera posición de la parrilla.
Johnson aventajaba a Greg Biffle por 0,103 segundos para obtener su primera Pole en Texas, cuarta de la temporada 2012. Tras colocarse en primera posición de la sesión clasificatoria, Johnson se quedaba en el coche esperando a que salieran a pista los 26 pilotos restantes, repitiendo lo hecho el fin de semana pasado en Martinsville. Parece que no es sólo la velocidad lo que acompaña al nº48.
Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer y Martin Truex Jr. completaban el Top5 de la sesión.
Brad Keselowski lograba el octavo mejor registro en la sesión del viernes.
