When looking for a driver to fill Johnson’s seat in the No. We had some highs and lows already this season, and then accomplished the almighty - win a race with the World of Outlaws together as a new team.” So, to pull off not only one victory, but two victories, in my eyes, it’s totally awesome. “Jason (Johnson) used to say it’s so hard to win an Outlaw race,” Bobbi Johnson said. This season is Gravel’s first year with Jason Johnson Racing, after three years with CJB Motorsports, and Johnson couldn’t be happier with the progress of the team, so far. I think as a team we want to consistently be in the top five.” “Realistically that’s not possible, but you like to run the best and make the best of every night no matter where you start. “We come to win every night,” Gravel said. Their focus is still on winning the next race, and even though Gravel already has two wins - one of three drivers, so far, this season with more than one win - that hasn’t changed his or JJR’s approach to the season.

With the Series being off for a week, teams had an extra week of being home. “We felt we picked a great location to have a race team based out of just because you get to come home, per se, and have a couple extra fun things to do.” “It’s probably one of the best, super exciting feelings you can have on the whole tour, that you get to sleep in your own bed,” Johnson said.

Being centrally located in the Midwest, Johnson said the team gets to come home about six times a year.

Johnson said with the more than 90 race World of Outlaws schedule that spans the United States, there are times when teams are home only once or twice throughout the season. Locating Jason Johnson Racing in Missouri was by design. “You can drive 15 minutes and be at the shop, it’s definitely a good thing.” “I think it makes it more enjoyable for the guys,” Gravel said. Racing close to JJR’s home, with local sponsor and fan support, doesn’t come with any added pressure to win for Gravel. A win at the speedway would be “wild and unique,” she said. Of the three Midwest tracks, Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Mo., is the one Johnson has circled on the schedule with it being just eight miles from the team’s shop in Rocky Mount, Mo. The Missouri-based team will be racing close to home at Lake Ozark Speedway on Friday, Federated Auto Parts Raceway on Saturday and Jacksonville Speedway on Sunday. The team’s feeling of joy continued two races later when Gravel won again at Arizona Speedway, and it could return this weekend.

“I got on the dictionary and tried to find the biggest word to describe your feeling. Tears of everything, really, all mixed into one ball,” Johnson said. It was the team’s first World of Outlaws win since her husband and team co-owner Jason Johnson died in a racing accident last year. There wasn’t a big enough word in the dictionary to describe how Jason Johnson Racing team owner Bobbi Johnson felt when David Gravel and the team claimed their first win of the season in March at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford, Calif.
