Summary

My old friend Jimmie Johnson is with us today. Jimmie and I go way back. We use to race together in NASCAR. And now he's racing IndyCar. Today we talk about the transition from IndyCar to NASCAR and NASCAR to IndyCar. Jimmie was surprised by just what a beast an IndyCar is. It wasn't all shop talk. We talked about the challenges of raising kids in a pandemic. We talked about workouts and goals. And then we talked about Burning Man. Jimmie, is a huge fan of "The Burn". I've never been. I'm dying to go. Jimmie said I could join them next time and he would show me the ropes. I hope you enjoy our chat as much as I did.

0:10.1

just the violence of it and in the physical nature you know, they run them on the deck and

dragging the bottom of a cup car is nothing like dragging the bottom of an indie car.

don't, I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to drive such a high performance car ever again.

I mean these things are beasts.

We used to race against each other in NASCAR,

1:25.9

to being humbled to an indie car

1:29.4

and kind of starting over is just really admirable.

1:32.7

And Jimmy is a really smart guy.

1:36.4

He's a really, he's a really hard worker.

1:39.6

And that's why I feel like he is going to be successful in no matter what he does and we also talked about how how much how physically demanding an Indy car is to a stock car which is something I used to kind of lie to everyone a little bit about not lie I just omitted how hard IndyCar was compared to NASCAR.
