Jimmie Johnson won the FedEx 400to follow his victory last week in the Coca-Cola 600.
Moffitt, 21, driving the No. 66 Toyota, finished four laps back and earned $104,460. He qualified a solid 18th Friday afternoon.
After five straight seasons of finishing second or third on the K&N Pro Series East circuit, Moffitt was left without a full-time ride this year. While others he raced door-to-door against graduated from the K&N Series to seats in NASCAR’s three national circuits, Moffitt had been limited to one Nationwide start and a pair of truck series races.
Two of Moffitt’s nine career wins on the K&N circuit came at Dover, and he tested recently for Jay Robinson Racing on the “Monster Mile.”
“I really like Dover,” he said last week. “I have a lot of fun there. The Cup race is going to be a lot tougher, obviously. It’s 400 miles against the best 43 drivers in the country, but going back to a track where I’ve had success definitely helps. It’s a little bit of a confidence booster going into it.”
Joe Nemechek has been the primary driver of the No. 66 car, with Michael Waltrip and Jeff Burton also racing in the car this season.
