This 2008 #48 Lowe's 250th Career Start diecast commemorates Jimmie Johnson's 250th NASCAR Cup Series start which took place in the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday October 11, 2008. The paint scheme is actually a preview of what the 2009 Lowe's paint scheme was going to look like, and carries a special decal honoring Johnson's 250th start on the decklid. This diecast was sold trackside at Charlotte Motor Speedway starting on Thursday October 9th, and quickly sold out... none were available by race day. Johnson started the race on the pole, led 67 laps, and finished 6th. Jeff Burton led 58 laps, including the final 57 laps of the race to earn the victory in his AT&T Mobility Chevy for Richard Childress Racing.
