One of the NASCAR Sprint Cup cars that will garner a lot of attention this weekend at Dover International Speedway is the No. 48 driven by five-time series champion Jimmie Johnson.<\/p>\n

Aside from being a threat to win on Sunday, the seven-time winner at Dover will be driving a car featuring the characters of the upcoming Monsters University film from Disney Pixar.<\/p>\n

Monsters University is the prequel to the 2001 film Monsters Inc. and will be released in theaters on June 21.<\/p>\n

In Johnson’s last five races at Dover he has two wins and a worst finish of ninth. Currently he holds a 32 point lead over Carl Edwards in the point standings.<\/p>\n

And have no worries about the characters slowing Johnson down. It was just last year that he donned a wig after winning at Dover in a car featuring the movie Madagascar.<\/p>\n

The biggest complaint about the car driven by Johnson at Dover will be the near identical look of it to that car from last year.<\/p>\n
