CHARLOTTE – Jimmie Johnson says he isn't superstitious. But just in case, he asked sponsor Lowe's to change the color of his No. 48 car heading into Saturday night's race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

The move to dump the seemingly unlucky white paint scheme and restore the more successful blue -- used in 2012 and 2013 -- might not end Johnson's streak of bad luck. But the six-time Sprint Cup Series champion figured it couldn't hurt.

"Just in case there is something to the superstition, we're going to cover that base and head up there with our blue race car," Johnson said this week.

I can't see were lightweight shifters would give you that much of a advantage.

They can take the weight saved from using a lightweight shifter and apply it in a more strategic position in the car where it will help with lower center of gravity. Every gram counts.
 
The only HMS team not using their Dover chassis this weekend is the #48. We all know what they did there in June. You can bet the house they're saving that car for September.

Beat me to it!
 
I like the blue Lowes car better myself and I sure would like for all these teams to stick to their colors.

I do too but marketing likes change for the sake of change.
 
I think the #48 team will be finishing up front starting at Chicago.
