American race-car driver Jimmie Johnson is one of the most accomplished and decorated professional athletes of his era and the only race-car driver ever to be named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year. His historic seven NASCAR Cup Series championship titles are shared with NASCAR Hall of Famers Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt as the most of all time. By 2002, Johnson was competing in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series and began to capture the imagination of racing fans across the globe. Over the course of his career, Johnson recorded 83 wins, 232 top-five finishes, 374 top-ten finishes, and 36 pole positions en route to seven championships, including five in a row from 2006 to 2010. As of 2021, Johnson is an NTT INDYCAR Series driver proving that it is never too late to not only try something new, but to excel at it as well. ONE MORE LAP: JIMMIE JOHNSON AND THE #48 celebrates the record-breaking career of this extraordinary athlete, who began racing motocross at five years old with a laser focus on becoming a racing champion. This is not just a collection of photographs of Johnson speeding around the track. Johnson’s passion for art and photography led to him hiring photographers such as Andrew Moore and Pari Dukovic to record behind the scenes moments at many of his races. Exhilarating racing snapshots by renowned photographers Sebastian Kim and Peggy Sirota, as well as images taken Johnson himself, round this visual biography, also coupled with photos of his youth culled from the family albums. With a foreword from sports legend Michael Jordan, Johnson’s story will appeal to racing enthusiasts, sports lovers, photography fans, and anyone interested in the story of a childhood dream that came true.
