Well all I can say is I FINALLY got my book. I wish I had waited till after they were out in stores and maybe even lucky enough to have known when Jimmie may have been somewhere he could have signed it. But I have a friend Kathy Dorton that I see occasionally at places where there is shagging going on & may could see if she might be able to get it signed for me. The book is fine quality and easy to read and will probably get started reading it more now that I am over the wait. .Jimmie H.

Jimmie Johnson--what more needs to be said. I just started reading this book which is full of great photos. I have followed Jimmie since his break into Winston Cup in 2002, all the way to his exit from Indy Car. I bought this book to more fully understand the man behind the legend, and it is helping.
