Jimmie Johnson’s track record isn’t anything to sneeze at. The guy has been the NASCAR Cup Series Champion five times, he’s won the Daytona 500 twice, he’s a five-time driver of the year, and he was named the AP Athlete of the Year in 2009. To be quite honest, that’s a pretty darn impressive resume. It’s impressive enough to earn Johnson about $20 million a year income between race winnings and endorsements.
