For those race fans on the West Coast or those who are planning to travel to the Toyota/Save Mart 350 NASCAR Sprint Car Series in Sonoma, CA. there is a special Jimmie Johnson ticket offer. The race will take place June 18-20 and you can get what is called the Jimmie Johnson 4-Pack.

You get four reserved tickets for the race, which falls on Father’s Day, June 20, four hot dogs and four sodas. Plus, you will get to attend an exclusive race-day Q&A with Jimmie, our four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion and driver of the No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet. It is a great package for just $195.

"I think it’s great that Infineon Raceway goes out of their way to work with us to bring different ticket options to our fans," said Johnson, who grew right here in the El Cajon area, "I especially like that we are doing something for the 48 fans. Anytime I can do something special for them is important to me. I look forward to seeing them and all the fans who buy this ticket package in June."

The seats will be located in the Turn three area, which offers a front-row seat to the entrance of The Chute, which connects Turns four and seven on the track. It is one of the prime spots to watch the Toyota/Save Mart 350 as the cars go into Turn seven.

You should be able to call the track to get more information at the following number, 800-870-RACE.

Jimmie Johnson Gracious on and off the Race Track

Our own Jimmie Johnson dealt with a pit road speeding penalty and a brush with Kurt Busch to finish fourth at Infineon Raceway. Jimmie trails the top spot by 157 points. After the brush with Busch Jimmie apologized.

The contact with Busch was totally my fault," Johnson said, "and I quickly apologized. That's called a 'noble' gesture. 'Noble' not because it was morally the right thing to do, but 'noble' because it came from nobility, a three-time Sprint Cup champion. You could say I 'championed' the effort. Kurt graciously accepted my apology, although I believe he was a bit offended by my opening line, in which I said, 'Hey Kurt, let me bend your ear for a bit.'"

Kyle Busch’s comment was “I appreciate Jimmie's apology, It's not often a fellow competitor approaches me and says 'I'm sorry.' It's usually 'You're sorry.'"

1. Tony Stewart — Stewart settled for the runner-up spot at the Toyota/Save Mart 350and extended his lead in the Sprint Cup point standings to 84 over Jeff Gordon, who finished ninth.
