This week, we sit down with seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson to discuss his wild start on dirt bikes, the crash that stranded him in the Baja desert for nearly a day, and how a surprise F1 car swap with Fernando Alonso blew his mind. Jimmie also opens up about his unprecedented five-championship streak, his move to IndyCar, and what it takes to run the Boston Marathon during a NASCAR season.
