DW: JOHNSON AND CREW MAY TAKE SOME RISKS IN PHOENIX – On FOXSports.com this week, NASCAR on FOX analyst Darrell Waltrip wrote about teams’ early focus on making the Chase and the dominance of four-time Sprint Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson in Phoenix. “Jimmie Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus own that joint. They’ve won five out of the last six in Phoenix. Will they go in there trying to win the race and gain the valuable 10 Chase bonus points? Will they experiment even more knowing that come November they will be back to Phoenix and it will be the next-to-last race in the Chase? It will be interesting to me to see if they go there this weekend and try some things.”
