All right, everybody. Welcome back to another edition of the 12 Questions Podcast.

My name is Jeff Gluck, and I'm a writer for the athletic, and each week I ask the same 12

questions to a different race car driver.

Up next is Jimmy Johnson from IndyCar.

Still so weird to say that in a way, but the seven seven time NASCAR champion is about to do his first

indie 500 so thought he would be a good addition to the podcast. Jimmy was the previous record holder

and I don't believe anybody has topped him for the most 12 questions done and when we last

to the 12 questions in 2020 I did a sign off with him and said, well,

you know, thanks for all your time over the years for doing these. And, you know, you're off

the hook for the future. But, you know, hey, Indy 500 comes up. It's a good opportunity to do

another one. And he agreed to do it again for the 11th time.

If you think about it, these interviews are usually about 15 minutes each or something like that over the years.

They've changed in length, but for 11 times doing him, that's almost three hours of Jimmy Johnson's life that he's spent entertaining these relatively silly questions.

So I appreciate him for doing that. And let's see how he answered this latest version of the 12 questions. All right, everybody, I'm back with

Jimmy Johnson on the 12 questions. This is the 11th time you've agreed to do this. I have no

idea why you keep agreeing, but thank you for coming back again.

My high score?

You are the high score.

Yes.

You have the all-time record.

Nobody had matched you and now you're extending it even further.

So I just know, yeah, you may never be because.
