2007 Season Review: On the heels of dramatic season-ending triumphs in the Super DIRT Week Rite Aid 200 on the Syracuse Mile and Victoria 200 at Fulton Speedway, Johnson opened the ’07 campaign with a dominating performance at Volusia Speedway Park to cash in on his third Florida DIRTcar Nationals title. Despite collecting Advance Auto Parts Series wins in the inaugural trek to Virginia Motor Speedway, at Niagara Frontier tracks Ransomville (NY) and Merrittville (Ont.) speedways, then finally in Cayuga County Fair Speedway’s make-up Hall of Fame Classic, inconsistency thwarted his best efforts given throughout the season as owner Dave Thompson’s first-string pilot aboard the no. 27J Chief’s Tobacco & Gas Troyer mount. The ‘Doctor’ ultimately closed out the year back together with the JIR Motorsports squadron placing a disappointing 43rd due to terminal motor trouble in the Eastern States 200 finale at Orange County Fair Speedway after time trialing third quickest. In between, D.J. collected six heat race wins and led seven events for a tour third-best 205 laps, ending the year eighth in Mr. DIRTcar Championshop points after scoring nine front-five finishes and 14 top-10s in 30 races run. Johnson also scored a second-best 11 DIRTcar Big-Block Modified feature wins at seven tracks throughout the Northeast, with three more checkered flags registered in DIRTcar 358-Modified competition.

Advance Auto Parts Series History: A lifer on the Advance Series Big-Block bandwagon, four-time overall Mr. DIRTcar Modified Champion Johnson sits second on the all-time Advance Auto Parts win chart (65) behind only rival Brett Hearn, yet with just one Integra Shocks Fast Time award garnered at Lebanon Valley Speedway at the start of the new millennium. The second-generation chauffeur holds the Advance Series standard by winning extra-distance events at 29 different speedways up and down the Atlantic Coast, including a record three straight in 1989. The ‘Doctor’ has been a favorite in every one of DIRTcar NorthEast’s crown jewel events held over the past quarter-century, scoring a pair of Super DIRT Week Rite Aid 200 wins (1997 & 2006), doubling the win count to four in the Eastern States 200 at Orange County, adding thee more triumphs in the Lebanon Valley Speedway 200, and capturing his lone National 200 at Rolling Wheels Raceway Park in 2000.
