Jimmie Johnson is not only one of the greatest racecar drivers of the modern era - but he is also one of the most accomplished professional athletes in sports. A seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, Johnson remains the only racecar driver in history to be named The Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year (2009). He continually defies critics, while chasing his aspirations and dreams with grace, humility, and class. Throughout Johnson’s storied career, he and the No. 48 team of Hendrick Motorsports recorded 83 wins in 686 starts, tying him with his childhood hero, Cale Yarborough for fifth on the all-time wins list. He shares the record of seven championship titles with NASCAR Hall of Fame legends Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt, Sr.

Johnson was the “MVP” in of one of the greatest championship runs ever seen in sports as the No. 48 team won five titles in a row, recording 35 wins from 2006-2010. The 47-year-old native of El Cajon, California continues to break new ground daily with his accomplishments both on and off the track. After Johnson’s final full-time season in NASCAR, spent two seasons in the INDYCAR Series competing for 14-time INDYCAR champions, Chip Ganassi Racing. At the end of the 2022 season, NASCAR Cup Series team LEGACY MOTOR CLUB made the announcement that Johnson entered into an ownership agreement with Maurice “Maury” Gallagher and the original founder of the team and namesake, Richard “The King” Petty.

Johnson and wife Chandra are co-founders of the Jimmie Johnson Foundation (JJF), which focuses on K-12 public education. The JJF has contributed more than $12.4 million to organizations and schools in need across the U.S., since its inception in 2006. The Johnson family resides in Charlotte, N.C., with daughters Genevieve and Lydia.
