First Look: I believe this is the first actual #1 of XX card I’ve ever gotten, and most-likely the last, unless I get a custom “Dateless Wonder” card made for myself.


To the Back: Well he won a championship in the 44 and numerous races in the 11, but yeah, he’s best known for one number.


Say What: “Yeah, I’m disappointed I couldn’t get the Wawa sponsorship too.”

Guy with Six Acting Credits get Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

This is a parody

Legacy Motor Club issued a press release earlier this week, announcing that team owner and Nascar Cup legend Jimmie Johnson—a guy with six acting credits to his name—will be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

“Its a great honor to have a star on the Walk of Fame—the PR firm that paid the $85,000 fee really believes in me”, said Johnson, whose IMDb page lists six individual credits.  “My goals growing up were simple: become a Nascar Cup champion, waste everyone’s time for two years in IndyCar, and get my name on a star in one of the worst neighborhoods in Los Angeles.  Missions accomplished.”

Johnson’s acting career stretches from 2005—appearing in Herbie: Fully Loaded as ‘Jimmie Johnson’, to 2022, appearing in Reinventing the Wheel as himself.

“I really stretched my acing muscles in ‘Blaze and the Monster Machines’ back in 2016 when I voiced ‘Dash’”, Johnson said.  “It was my first and only time playing someone not named Jimmie—or some variation thereof—so it was nice getting into a different mindset for a few minutes of studio recording time.”

Johnson mentioned that he plans to expand his acting repertoire in the near future.

“Well, I have an offer to appear as ‘Jimmie Johnstone’ in an upcoming straight-to-streaming Flintstones movie”, Johnson mentioned.  “Plus, I’ll have to act like I don’t mind being in the Hollywood neighborhood when they unveil my star in a few months.”

When asked why Legacy MC team ambassador Richard Petty doesn’t have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Johnson said “Look over there” and then ran away.
