NASCAR’s Johnson Visits ESPN Day After Record-Setting Championship
Four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson visited ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn. Monday, one day after becoming the first driver to win four straight Cup titles.
Johnson made live appearances on First Take (ESPN2), SportsCenter (ESPN), ESPNEWS, and ESPN Radio’s Scott Van Pelt Show (simulcast on ESPN2). He also did a live chat on ESPN.com, and taped appearances on the 6 p.m. SportsCenter and ESPN Deportes.
Prior to departing from Florida, where he captured his record-breaking Cup crown Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Johnson called into ESPN Radio’s Mike & Mike in the Morning (6-10 a.m. M-F). When asked how he was feeling at 7:12 a.m., about 12 hours after completing his historical 2009 season, Johnson replied: “Terrible, I wish you had a noon show.”
