While there isn’t a NASCAR race this Sunday, there is lots to celebrate. Jimmie Johnson, Seven-Time, is 48 years old today. The legendary driver and now team owner has had a tough year in 2023. Hopefully, he is able to have a great time on his birthday, especially without a race today.
Jimmie Johnson was able to accomplish so much in the Cup Series in such a short time when you think about it. His window as the best in the sport lasted well over a decade, but looking back it was almost like a flash in the pan.
Winning five championships in a row, then earning two more in 2013 and 2016, all in the 48 car. Now the man himself is 48. Now that he drives the 84 car, let’s hope that he, and all of us, are around to celebrate that birthday as well.
Johnson thanked those wishing him a happy birthday on his Twitter/X account.
