Triple Champion Nascar In title, Jimmie Johnson is getting closer to a historic fourth title this year. Another victorious campaign would guarantee him a place in the Nascar Hall of Fame. But would he trade this fourth title opportunity for a check for $100 million?

" I don't know? The choice is difficult,” Johnson responds. “$100 million? Net of taxes? This is a proposition that would make me think! »

The most sarcastic may argue that these 100 million are more interesting to collect now that Bernard Madoff is imprisoned.

“The older I get, the more I become attached to these records, to the history of the discipline and to the mark I can leave there. Writing my name in the Nascar ledger is a challenge that means a lot to me. »

Maybe more than that $100 million…
