June 26th: FBG Racing captain Tony Stewart notched his first win of the season when he edged Ricky Rudd for the checkered at the Dodge/Save Mart 350 in Sonoma, California. The race was plagued with transmission problems for G2 racers Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, whose transmission issues took them from the front of the field early in the race. Stewart has recorded 4 wins out of his last 9 road course races, and looks forward to the upcoming race at Watkins Glen in August. 

May 30 - Griffin Motorsports put a notch in the 'Win' column on Saturday as Jimmie Johnson edged Bobby Labonte on the final lap of the Coca-Cola 600 to become the first driver in NASCAR history to win three of the same races in a row, and the longest race of the season, no less. Unlike his dominating presence at Lowe's Motor Speedway last Fall, Johnson took his time and moved quietly but steadily through the field, and used a five lap restart to move up the four spots to take the checkered.
