Steering wheel came off on Johnson's qualifying lap: Jimmie Johnson escaped injury when his steering wheel came off and he crashed into the wall at full speed in NASCAR Sprint Cup qualifying Friday. Johnson was on his second lap in the final round on the mile oval when he couldn't turn and his car rammed into the second-turn wall. The right front of the Hendrick Motorsports' #48 car took the most damage and Johnson was able to climb out after the car slid onto the grass. Johnson didn't explain the reason for the crash in media interviews, but later took to Twitter. "About qualifying, the steering wheel came off," Johnson said. "I know my interview was vague, but wanted to tell the team first. I'm thankful for soft walls.Source: "(Associated Press)(3-12-2016)
