Johnson started to lead the pack at Darlington Raceway from his Hendrick Motorsports colleague, Alex Bowman, on Lap 81. With the primary stage finishing on Lap 90. The No 48 Chevrolet driver appeared as though he’d voyage to win the stage. It would have earned him a season finisher point for the postseason. And it would have been just the third stage triumph of his profession since the 2017 season.

However, on that last lap of the initial stage, Johnson — who is resigning from full-time Cup Series dashing toward the finish of the 2020 season — was coming up behind Chris Buescher in the No. 17 Ford and was prepared to lap him.
