So today, Jimmie Johnson won the Sprint Cup series... Again. I know, some of the NASCAR die-hards are annoyed. But he was not a shoe in this time around. It was Denny's to lose and, boy, did he... Starting last week, and just unable to shake off his nerves. Harvick did his best, but yah, no.
I watched the mini series on HBO (when I still had HBO) with the run up to Daytona. It was really interesting to see him interact with his team, his wife and his crew chief Chad.
He and his wife talked about how they met and announced they were expecting... We got to see their beautiful home. We got to see Jimmy is a clothes horse (His closet may be bigger than my bedroom) and Chad has an AMAZING kitchen.
I love Chad making fun of Jimmie for wrecking a car in a 24 hour race a week after Jimmy said that sometimes he wins and sometimes he puts it in the wall on the first lap. The comment was along the lines that Jimmy had asked for it, saying such a thing out loud...
Then Jimmie had a crap race at Daytona- which happens often... He had to change out his crew cause they were screwing up... He had to come from behind...
Does he cheat- I wouldn't know, though Rick has said, "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't trying", clearly an old timer's take on NASCAR. (He is a Tony Stewart fan). So if cheating is really the norm, clearly he does it better than everyone else.
Love him or hate him... and LOADS of people hate him...he is the champion once more.
