2013 Jimmie Johnson

Today is Jimmie Johnson's 39th birthday. While he is a controversial figure at the moment, Johnson will surely go down as one of the all-time greats of the sport.

This car was produced by Lionel Racing in 2013. It is the "night race" version of his traditional blue scheme.

Tomorrow's race in Chicago marks the beginning of the 2014 NASCAR Chase of the Cup. The Chase is maybe the most controversial change in NASCAR in recent memory. However, one thing is for sure – the Chase is here to stay. Another thing that's for sure is Jimmie Johnson and the #48 team have the Chase system figured out. Johnson won the championship from 2006-2010 and again in 2013. 

This car represents Johnson's 2006 car, his first championship ride. It was produced by Winner's Circle.
