Jimmie Johnson

Birthday: September 17, 1975    Hometown: El Cajon, California

Jimmie Johnson has won three consecutive series titles and is considered a favorite to win again in 2009. He has already visited Victory Lane this season in the Good's Fast Pain Relief 500. The El Cajon native is the only driver in NASCAR history to win at least 3 races in each of his first seven seasons.

His success comes from years of hard work and determination and he started racing 50cc motorcycles at the age of 5. Family support was instrumental and normal weekends found the entire Johnson clan at a racetrack.

Johnson also works tirelessly off the racetrack in supporting the public. The Jimmie Johnson foundation was founded by Jimmie and his wife, Chandra, in 2006. He also has raised more than a million dollars for his local chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
