DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Jimmie Johnson ran three times on Sunday, but only two of the occasions involved his No. Before Daytona 500 time trials, Johnson ran the Daytona Beach Half-Marathon, which starts on the tri-oval at Daytona International Speedway and ends 13.1 miles later after a run to the sands of Daytona Beach. Next Sunday’s Daytona 500 will be Johnson’s last as a full-time NASCAR Cup Series driver. The Mexican driver opted to forego the spot he had earned in Sunday’s Busch Clash at Daytona to concentrate on his Daytona 500 effort. “That was really the main goal, to focus on the Daytona 500 car,” Suarez said of the decision not to race in the Clash.
