Summary
7-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson joins Corey LaJoie and Ryan Flores in the Nonsense Garage for a wide-ranging conversation on life after the No. 48, becoming co-owner of Legacy Motor Club, and what's next.
Jimmie tells the full story of the 2011 Talladega tandem-draft win with Dale Earnhardt Jr (and the 50 cases of beer that followed), the F1 super license rules that killed his Formula 1 test, the year his family spent in London, the Garage 56 program at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, his Indy 500 runs with Chip Ganassi Racing, the Mint 400 with Herbst Motorsports, and the phone call to Ron Devine at BK Racing that launched Corey LaJoie's Cup career.
Plus: a full Talladega Cup race breakdown, pit road penalties, the Toyota tandem squirrel problem explained through spring rates, sitting inside a Top Fuel car at NHRA Four-Wides, NASCAR's SUV and hydrogen future, and Pit Boss of the Week.
