Allen Johnson can’t help it.
The veteran driver from Greeneville, Tenn., has a legitimate chance to contend for the 2008 NHRA Pro Stock title and the status has him counting points.
“This gives us almost a half of a round,” Johnson said, speaking about his third No. 1 qualifier of the season during this weekend's NHRA Mid South Nationals in Memphis. “We just have to do something with it on Sunday.”
Make no bones about it; winning a championship would provide an incredible experience for Johnson. Allen Johnson can’t help it.

“It would be huge for my family, my Dad and our whole team,” Johnson said. “Winning a championship is what we set out to do twenty-one years ago when we started racing Pro Stock. We’re close enough that if we can get a break and I can do my job, we can tighten it up.”
Johnson didn’t improve on his Friday evening session as he predicted
“We took both runs and tried to learn from them,” Johnson said. “The first run was really good and the second not as good. I think we’ll be able to pull a happy medium out for tomorrow.”
One thing Johnson knows for sure is that he has the hot rod to beat on Sunday.
“I’ve felt pretty good about our chances in the last few races,” Johnson said. “I’ve had some pretty decent lights and I’d like to get them down even more so we could win some races without having to make such a good run. I feel good headed into Sunday; about as good as I have felt all year.”
