Chase Johnson Records First Winged Sprint Car Win of the Season
Inside Line Promotions – WATSONVILLE, Calif. (April 15, 2019) – Chase Johnson was victorious in his third different type of race car last Friday at Ocean Speedway, where he captured his first winged sprint car triumph of the season in his family owned No. 24.
“That’s something really special,” he said. “That’s a big goal of mine this season and is for my future. I want to show up to the race track and I want to be capable of winning in any type of car at any type of track. It’s cool to get three different types of wins this early in the season. Now we need a winged 410 win and non-wing 410 win and I’ll be a happy camper.”
Johnson, who posted a midget and a 360ci non-wing sprint car victory last month, kicked off Friday’s competition by qualifying fourth quickest. He then advanced from third to second place in a heat race and from fourth to third place in the dash to line up on the inside of the second row for the main event.
“We qualified good,” he said. “It wasn’t setting the world on fire, but we were good enough to be in a good spot. We took what we could each time we hit the track and that put ourselves in a good spot for the main.
“I got to second on the first lap and I want to say we grabbed the lead on the second or third lap. I felt really good. We have a strong engine package and a strong car package. I feel really strong whenever we hop in that car. I feel like it’s capable of winning any time we hit the track.”
That was evident on Friday as Johnson led the majority of the laps after taking the early lead and he outlasted his younger brother, Colby, for the trip to Victory Lane.
“Our team had a one-two finish so that was pretty cool,” Chase Johnson said. “That is the first time that’s happened so it was really special to go first and second. It was pretty much a perfect night for our family and our team.”
Next up for Johnson is the season opener at Petaluma Speedway in Petaluma, Calif., this Saturday.
