    Jimmie Johnson wreck on Road Course long ago in Busch Series

    Does anyone remember this? JJ in his rookie year (i think) wrecked really bad on some RC. Probably The Glen or Sonoma. It was a really really hard hit but he emerged from the car and held his hands up like "WOW I survived THAT"! It was the first time I ever recall hearing his name and it was very cool! It think it was a Busch Series event. Wish I could find it on YouTube or somewhere.

    The Glen. Went head first into the foam block barrier after blowing through Turn 1, IIRC.

    I saw it happen live and really thought he was hurt..it was a hit.
    I love how he explained afterwards about seeing it coming and exhaling as much air out of himself as he could cause he knew it was gonna get knocked out anyway

    I believe this was the same corner that effectively ended the career of Tommy Kendall and the life of J D McDuffie. Jimmie goes in head on and walks away? Again, when your number is up...
