WATCH: Jimmie Johnson’s Classy Response to Former US President Barack Obama’s “Tickets” Question

Jimmie Johnson is truly an icon. And not just in NASCAR, but in motorsports. We all knew the #48 Chevrolet going around the oval track was always a scary thing for all other drivers. Of course, the driver has also won 7 Cup Series titles.

And, being one of the most popular entities in the sport means that you get recognized by other popular and known people. in Jimmie Johnson’s case, one of those people is also the 44th U.S. President, Barack Obama.

The seven-time Cup Series champion went to the white house in the very #48 Chevrolet that won him those titles. He gave the president a quick tour of how the teams make NASCAR Cup Series Stock Car, and how it functions.

Barack Obama Asks Jimmie Johnson The All-Important Question

NASCAR Drivers aren’t known to be the best drivers on the road. And, the president seems to know that very well. Barack Obama asked Johnson, “Now, tell the truth. Do you get tickets?”

And, Johnson replied by saying, “I haven’t had one.” This is almost unbelievable that someone as fast as Jimmie Johnson hasn’t gotten a ticket yet!

And Johnson did not convince even the president with his answer. In fact, Obama further asked, “Is that because when cops pull you over they’re like Hey! Jimmie Johnson, and start talking about racing?”

However, Johnson seems to have a solid answer. He replied, “I’m able to get my aggression out on track and keep it off the streets.” And the two burst out laughing!
