Johnson's spotter was the 2006 Daytona 500, which he ultimately won. Johnson would win that year's championship, though Barban left the team for Yates Racing and Stevie Reeves took over as spotter. He returned to the No. 48 team in 2009, and the duo scored four more titles from 2009 to 2010, 2013, and 2016. Barban also works at the NASCAR Xfinity Series level for Hendrick affiliate JR Motorsports. Overseeing the team's No. 9 car, he won championships in 2014, 2017, and 2018 with Chase Elliott, William Byron, and Tyler Reddick. Prior to JRM, he was the spotter for Rusty Wallace Racing's No. 64 team in 2006.
