Raines, Johnson top first preseason test session
If Jimmie Johnson was bothered by the splint on his wrist, it didn't show Monday during the first testing session of Jackson Hewitt Preseason Thunder at Daytona International Speedway.
Johnson, the 2006 Nextel Cup champion who broke his wrist during a charity golf tournament in December, posted the second-fastest time in the morning session. Johnson sped around Daytona in 48.948 seconds.
Tony Raines led the session in the No. 96 Chevrolet, with a time of 48.920.
Dave Blaney got newcomer Toyota off to a fast start. Blaney had the third-best time in the No. 22 Camry at 48.978 seconds. Blaney also posted the 11th-fastest time.
Rain washed out the afternoon test session. NASCAR will allow teams to extend the scheduled three-day test to Thursday morning.
