Q&A'S WITH JIMMIE JOHNSON
ON HAVING DALE EARNHARDT JR. AS A NEW TEAMMATE IN 2008
"It's an exciting time. I'm very excited about the opportunity for Dale
Jr. in coming to Hendrick Motorsports. We obviously have the '07 season
to get through and everybody has jobs to do and things to think about
and be concerned about and we'll take it from there and look forward to
'08. It's an exciting time. I think it says a lot for Mr. Hendrick and
the organization and what we've done together as a company to have
Junior think his future is best served at Hendrick Motorsports."
EVERY TEAM WITHIN THE HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS GROUP HAS WON THIS YEAR. WHAT
CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THAT?
"We always say it's about people. If you listen to other race teams when
they're on top of their game and doing well, we're always talking about
the guys at the shop and thanking everyone. Mr. Hendrick, being the type
of person that he is, develops a relationship and is able to keep
quality and people working at HMS for years and years. Over time, you
build such a strong foundation that it's hard to beat. It's hard to beat
that foundation that Rick has in place. The people are the core of our
success."
WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR INFINEON RACEWAY NEXT WEEK?
"Ultimately, I want to win. It's a goal I've set to achieve and
hopefully we're able to get it done. That's our first priority. But more
than anything, I want to make sure I'm competitive and qualify good.
Road course racing can be such a stressful experience. If you have a bad
qualifying effort it just leads to a long weekend and crazy strategy to
be competitive. I'm just looking forward to a competitive weekend with a
smooth qualifying effort, get in the race, run in the top five, and
fight for a win."
WHAT IF.......YOU ARE THE POINTS LEADER COMING TO YOUR FAVORITE TRACK
WHERE YOU'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL, YOUR WIFE IS PREGNANT AND COULD GO INTO
LABOR AT ANY MINUTE, HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE THAT?
"You're obviously talking about Jeff Gordon. That's a tough one. Where
he is in points and in his career, and at Hendrick, and where he is in
life, I believe he's in a great situation. Even though it's stressful
and he has obligations and needs to be in a race car, he's in a position
to enjoy a different aspect of life and to be there for the birth of his
child. I'm not so sure how that all works out. I'm not sure when the due
date is to get everything coordinated. I saw him at dinner with Ingrid
last week and they're both extremely excited. It's interesting to walk
into his place now and see strollers and baby cribs and all that stuff
(laughs). I never thought I'd see that at his place, but it's an
exciting time for him."
HAVE YOU WATCHED HIM AT ALL TO SEE HOW YOU MIGHT HANDLE A SITUATION LIKE
THAT IN THE FUTURE?
"I've learned a lot from Jeff. There is no doubt about that. He always
jokes with us (Casey Mears and Brian Vickers) younger guys and says to
let us learn from his mistakes. We're all watching - especially me
because I'm the married one out of the crowd. We're watching and paying
attention. But I don't think we're in any rush to start a family. We're
still freshly married and enjoying all that."
WHEN DID YOU FIRST FIND OUT ABOUT DALE JR. JOINING HMS, AND IS YOUR
REACTION TO HIS CLAIMING CREDIT FOR GETTING YOU INTO NASCAR RACING BY
HELPING YOU OUT WITH ADVICE ON THE KINGSFORD CAR?
"I'm in a position at Hendrick where I'm not the eldest driver, but I'm
going to be at Hendrick for a long time. I have a long-term contract.
I've known that there has been interest there. I've known that we were
pursuing and felt like we were in a good position to acquire Junior.
There was a lot that needed to happen and a lot that needed to take
place and that stuff has all been going on behind closed doors. But I
was at least aware of the situation. I'm excited to have him. I think
he's going to be a great teammate and a great asset for us. I also do
credit him with some of my early days in North Carolina. I remember all
the way back to when we were at the Daytona 500 before I was even
driving stock cars - probably in '99 or '98. He was racing Late Models
and we crashed in the same condo together and had all kinds of fun.
Neither one of us was racing and we were just having a big time. Then
when I moved back to North Caroling he was dominating the Busch Series
when I was just getting my feet wet and was a big help to me then. We've
been friends for quite a few years now."
IS YOUR XM RADIO SHOW MORE FUN OR WORK FOR YOU? WHAT WAS A MEMORABLE
DAY ON THE SHOWA? DO YOU SEE YOURSELF DOING BROADCAST IN THE FUTURE AT
THE END OF YOUR DRIVING CAREER?
"Yeah, I haven't even thought about after my driving career is over. I'm
a driver at heart and I guess you don't really think about that until
that day is there when you're not going to be in that seat anymore. I do
have experience doing pit road commentating in the off-road for ESPN.
I'm comfortable in front of the camera, but it's nothing that I'm
actively setting up for my future. I do have a great time with the show
and it's brought a lot of great opportunities to me. It does not seem
like work. It just seems like a place for Marty Smith and I to harass
one another and give the No. 48 fans and racing fans in general an
inside look at what goes on in my pea-sized brain."
ON THE AUGUST 29 GOLF TOURNAMENT AND THE JIMMIE JOHNSON FOUNDATION
"We're really excited with the progress we've made with our foundation.
It's a little over a year old now and we've been able to raise a lot of
money and do some great things already with the Victory Junction Gang
Camp. We're expanding into San Diego. The goal is to eventually give
back in the areas in which Chani and I both grew up. We're starting that
project in San Diego. We're hoping to build a house with Habitat for
Humanity in El Cajon. I'm certainly going to build something with
Habitat; we just haven't been able to lock down the land piece yet.
That's what that fundraiser golf tournament is for. We've had a lot of
inquiries and I believe we've already locked up all the foursomes. We
have our sponsor packages in place too so it's been moving really fast
and we've seen a lot of support and we're just excited for it. Robert
Niblock at Lowe's has supported anything that I've wanted to do from
driving in the Rolex 24 to my foundation. They've been an amazing
sponsor and great friends and they are involved in our golf tournament
and what we're doing with Habitat."
WHAT MAKES RICK HENDRICK SUCH A REMARKABLE INDIVIDUAL? IS THERE ANY
CONCERN AT ALL THAT ADDING DALE EARNHARDT JR TO HMS WILL MAKE IT TOO
CROWED WITH TOO MANY STARS?
"As far as Rick, I think a lot of it comes from your parents. If anybody
knew Papa Joe and his mom, Mary - they are great people. If you ever had
a chance to meet his parents, you would see why Rick is who he is. And
then I think Rick's life experiences have also made him more of what he
is. He's fought Leukemia. He's had financial challenges. He financed
everything to get his first auto dealership and has had success with
that. He has had a very challenged life in a lot of ways but he's a
great person at heart. Through all of that, personal and professional
challenges, he's kept his core values and you are able to see those
values come out in the decisions he makes. He's a caring person; a
loving person. He's also a stern businessman that's made a successful
empire for himself. He's got a heart and it's just a pleasure working
for him. Anybody in the garage area, if they had a choice to go to work
for someone, they would pick Rick Hendrick. I know he hasn't set out to
be that person, that's just who he is. He's a humble man. It's who he is
and everybody loves him.
"When you have four winning teams like we do, we've had that challenge
of are there too many successful drivers in one place? I think we've
already proven that if there is a team that can deal with it, Hendrick
Motorsports would be one of them. Even though we are teammates and we
share everything, that part is set in stone. We have four different
drivers with four different personalities. We're all able to be who we
are and what we are. Rick doesn't regulate us. He lets us all be
ourselves. I think we're all going to be helpful to one another - help
crossing over to a different fan basis. Just being around Jeff Gordon,
I've learned so much about the sport and how to handle myself and things
by working with him. I'm sure Junior will learn some from Jeff and we'll
learn some from Junior. When you're in a teammate situation, you've got
to learn how to deal with these things. We've all been in teammate
situations and I think Rick's organization is a place where people
really can spread their wings."
IN MOTORSPORTS, EACH DRIVER WANTS THE SUPERBOWL. HOW DO YOU HANDLE
SITUATIONS LIKE MARTINSVILLE, WHEN JEFF GORDON WASN'T TOO HAPPY WITH YOU
FOR WINNING?
"You just saw the competitive spirit. People question whether there are
team orders and people really wonder whether we can really be ourselves
and fight for wins and do the things we say we do in these situations as
teammates. At Martinsville, Jeff's emotions came out because Jeff
couldn't get by me. Jeff was frustrated. Jeff was mad that he didn't
win. He wasn't mad at me. It didn't matter who was in front of him. It
is hard for people to understand unless you're in the sport and living
it. But with the restrictions we have as teams, we need to all work
together or else none of us are going to be successful. The fact that
our four teams have been as tight as they have, we are able to keep
Hendrick Motorsports in the position of winning races. So you need
somebody who buys into that program and says he's going to be a team
player. And if all four of us work together, we're going to stay
successful. And if it comes down to the end of a race where we have to
fight against one another, I'd rather it be with my teammate. You have
to buy into that and I don't think everyone can. And that's why you see
some multi-car teams that are successful and some that aren't. The way
Rick has put together this organization; we've been able to buy into
that philosophy. And it's hard at times. I'm sure it wasn't easy for
Jeff to finish second and I've been in second plenty of times to him
where I didn't like it one bit, but I'd rather be beat by a teammate
than someone else. But that's what we do and that's why we're
successful."
IF YOU WEREN'T HIS TEAMMATE, JEFF MIGHT HAVE GIVEN YOU A BUMP AND GOTTEN
BY YOU AND WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CONCERNED IF YOU HIT THE WALL
"If you remember, he hit me about 15 times (laughs). Yeah, he's a car
owner and he's not going to crash his own car. But Jeff Gordon doesn't
crash people when he's trying to pass him. We've watched the bump and
run on Rusty Wallace at Bristol, one of the toughest places to pull it
off. He has a very good feel for where the front of that car is and how
to move someone.
"But the other thing that comes into play, and it doesn't matter if
you're a teammate or not, is that you race people how they race you. And
I don't run into people. I've never run into Jeff Gordon to get by him.
If he was hitting my bumper trying to move me, that goes through your
mind as a competitor. You race people how they race you. It's more that
than anything."
SO YOU WERE CONFIDENT HE WOULD RACE YOU FAIR AND SQUARE ALL THE WAY?
"He hit me 15 times. There were a few times when I thought I was going
to spin out and crash. It was as heated issue as you can get. It doesn't
matter whether he was a teammate or not. He was trying to move me out of
the way. And I was doing my job to maintain position."
MARK MARTIN CAN MISS A COUPLE OF RACES AND POSSIBLY MAKE THE CHASE AND
JEFF GORDON CAN POSSIBLY MISS THE SONOMA RACE AND STILL MAKE THE CHASE.
DOES THAT CHANGE THE APPROACH TO THE SEASON?
"It certainly does. I don't think Jeff wants to miss a race and I don't
believe he'll need to. But in his position, it's a little easier for him
to consider that. A couple of years ago he missed the Chase by a handful
of points. You're not safe until after Richmond or until you're
mathematically locked in. Yes, it does take some pressure off of you.
From time to time we're not racing for the championship from week one
on. You're racing for 12th for the first 26 and from they on you worry
about the championship, so it is a little more forgiving."
HOW WILL DALE JUNIOR FIT IN WITH THE HENDRICK FAMILY AND DO YOU
ANTICIPATE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THREE PREMIER DRIVERS ALL ON THE SAME TEAM?
"I don't think so. I think he's going to fit in well. We still have a
lot of time to work out all the details with the team and the sponsor. I
think it's really important to make sure all four teammates are pulling
in the same direction and that we are all working for the same goals. I
think Junior has made that commitment to the team. It's something he's
looking forward to. He wants that team camaraderie. He wants the
opportunity to win races and championships. I think it's going to be a
good experience. We welcome him. We look forward to '08. But right now
we've still got a whole lot of racing left and he has responsibilities
with DEI. Kyle (Busch) has responsibilities for the No. 5 team and
Hendrick Motorsports. And Jeff and Casey and I need to keep worrying
about what we're doing now in the cars. So we'll just let this thing
develop and see how it comes together in the off-season and once we get
into '08, we'll have a much better idea of how it's all going to play
out."
HOW DO YOU THINK THE CAR OF TOMORROW IS GOING TO HOLD UP AT INFINEON
RACEWAY? DO YOU ANTICIPATE ANY ISSUES WITH THAT CAR ON A ROAD COURSE?
"The car is different. We've been doing some testing. It's been tough to
get a real good feel for it because we're not on the tire we're going to
race on. The things that are going on with this car I think will lead to
more tire give up and more tire fall off, which will make Infineon more
challenging than it has been in the past."
AND WHY AREN'T YOU TESTING OR PRACTICING ON THE SAME TIRE?
"Well, NASCAR won't allow us. There are testing limitations and tire
limitations that's a rule in our sport that we are hopeful will be
lifted for next year."
RICK HENDRICK SAID THAT KYLE BUSCH WAS LOOKING AT OTHER OPTIONS. DID
KYLE COME TO YOU FOR ANY ADVICE ABOUT WHAT TO DO? AND HAVE YOU SPOKEN
WITH HIM SINCE ALL OF THIS WAS DECIDED?
"No, I haven't had a chance to talk to Kyle yet. A lot of stuff has gone
on behind closed doors. It's amazing how inside boardroom conversations
find their way out in a hurry. So it's really been quiet in
conversations between myself and Rick and the teams. I'm learning as I
go. I've just learned a lot watching the press conference a few minutes
ago to be honest with you. I think the thing I saw today in the press
conference and in Kyle's heart. He wants to do the best job that he can.
He wants to win races this year. He wants to be in the Chase and fight
for a championship. That's the biggest thing I'd be looking at. I
certainly know that's something that's going to be important to Kyle."
DID HE COME TO YOU AT ALL IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND ASK FOR YOUR
ADVISE?
"No. On the teammate side, we've been communicating more and more as the
year has gone on in understanding each other's driving styles and
set-ups and we've been really gelling in the team debriefs. There has
been a lot more conversation on that front. But as far as his future and
decisions he's going to make, I've not had any conversations with him."
ALONG THE WAY, DID RICK HENDRICK CALL THE DRIVERS IN TO BRIEF YOU AND TO
GET INPUT ABOUT DALE JUNIOR FROM YOU?
"It would be hard to say that I was asked for a lot of input. Looking
back, there were questions and things that I could say now I understand
the meaning of the questions. With the sensitive nature of this, I feel
everybody that was working the deal had to be smart and work well and
discretely so they could put this thing together. So I do feel like I
was involved on a very small level. But it took the whole thing to come
together for me to recognize it."
IN TALKING ABOUT THE CHASE, AS WE GET CLOSER TO IT, HOW IMPORTANT DOES
IT COME FOR YOU TO BE IN THE POINT LEAD?
"With the current structure, the first priority is to be in the top 12
and then it's base on wins. So we've had a couple of races here where
we've had tire problems where we've lost a lot of ground to the No. 24.
Somebody could get on a streak and we could have some bad luck and we
could be 10th or 12th if we're not careful. So, we don't want to be in
that position. So we want to get back into our points-collecting ways
and race-winning ways. We've had the speed. We've been there in
contention. We're doing the right things. We started off with so much
good luck, maybe some of that bad luck is coming in. I want to lead in
the points from start to finish every year. That's a goal that all
competitors set out for. Right now we're fourth and trying to catch back
up to Jeff."
WITH THE BONUS POINTS YOU GET FOR WINS, DO YOU SEE DRIVERS DRIVING MORE
AGGRESSIVELY?
"No, it's not something we're thinking about in the car. At least I
haven't. Maybe on the plane home you'll realize you made some more
points. We're learning the new Chase format and now we're living it.
We've known about it but now we're getting into the heart of the season
where these things are more important. I always see the intensity pick
up when we get close to Richmond. It's hard to say because we just
always fight for a win anyway. I'm not sure you'll see a huge change."
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR DALE JUNIOR TO ADJUST TO HIS NEW RIDE AT
HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS?
"I don't know if I'd have a lot of advice for him. He's done an amazing
job working through his decision and handling things at DEI and working
out his program with Hendrick Motorsports. He's been racing for a long
time and knows the deal. He's got to come into a new company, but he
still has quite a few months before we're in that position. So I think
he's been doing a great job thinking through it all. He's carrying
himself in a great manner. So I can't say I'd have any advice for him."
HOW EASILY CAN ANYBODY MEASURE THE EQUIPMENT OR WHAT KIND OF RIDE HE'S
GETTING INTO NOW COMPARED TO WHAT HE'S HAD IN THE PAST?
"I think that's all to be determined. But one thing that we always talk
about is the people. DEI has shown that they have good equipment. Martin
(Truex Jr) has won. He's run up front. Junior has been running strong at
different tracks. The pieces are there. In my heart, I feel it's about
people. I think Rick Hendrick does an amazing job of bringing the right
people together. That doesn't just mean at the race track, but also
behind the scenes. There is a long list of people who play a part in
what we do. People are what make the difference I think that's where our
strength shows up year to year. Sometimes luck falls in our direction
and we go on a tear, and sometimes it goes the other way and we're not
where we want to be. We have a solid group of people. As Junior gets
into Hendrick and gets some experience with us, he'll be able to see
that. Maybe it's almost a floor when you can only fall so far when you
have such a great foundation. That's what we really have at Hendrick."
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH JUNIOR?
"At the Daytona 500 in '98 staying with Ron Hornaday in a condo. Ron's
son Ronnie was there with Dale Junior and we three didn't have much to
do except run around and get into trouble. He still owes me a belt. He
had to go to an event with his dad. I think it was a Chevy dinner and he
didn't have a belt. He borrowed my belt and I never got it back. So that
was my first experience with him quite some time ago."
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE MICHAEL WALTRIP RACING TO BECOME
COMPETITIVE? AND WHAT ADVICE, IF ANY, WOULD YOU GIVE THOSE GUYS?
"They're in a tough position. Any start-up team - it doesn't matter if
it's Michael Waltrip Racing - or Team Red Bull - and you look at the
finances. You can't say it's just a financial piece and all you need is
money. Toyota has done a great job of bringing money in and financing
Michael Waltrip Racing. They have a lot of big sponsors. Red Bull does.
I just think it's time. You've got to compare them against the other
start-up Toyota teams. That's a fair assessment. That's why I guess I
threw out the Red Bull Team because they're in the same situation. Rules
are rules and the Car of Tomorrrow helps them in some ways, but it still
takes a long time to get people in place and to build that chemistry.
You can't just show up with all the latest and greatest gadgets and
tools and expect that you're going to start winning. I feel for Michael.
I watch him from week to week and feel the stress he has on his
shoulders. And it's nice to see those guys making some races and getting
up to speed."
HOW DO YOU THINK JUAN PABLO MONTOYA WILL DO ON THE ROAD COURSE AND HOW
IMPORTANT WILL HIS ROAD COURSE EXPERIENCE BE AT INFINEON? IS HE A
FAVORITE?
"He's going to do a great job at Infineon. He showed at the Busch race
that it wasn't a huge challenge for him to switch over from road course
(racing) in a stock car versus road course in an F1 car. I think he'll
certainly be tough. It's still a different format. I don't know if he
has any experience at that track, but we're all learning this car of
tomorrow. It's going to be relatively new for all of us to try it out. I
think that would be one of his better chances to win - at the Glen or at
Infineon."
LISTENING TO DALE JUNIOR TODAY, IT WAS MORE OF A PERSONAL DECISION
RATHER THAN ABOUT GOOD EQUIPMENT THAT LED HIM TO HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS.
WAS THAT THE SAME FOR YOU WHEN YOU JOINED THE ORGANIZATION?
"My situation was much different. I didn't have the luxury of talking to
Childress or Gibbs or really anyone in the garage area for that matter.
I was just thinking of the Chevy teams off the top of my head. The only
one I really knew was Rick. And that was my best opportunity. I had
other things that were coming along at the time, but they were kind of
Busch and Truck related. Rick was willing to take that chance with me.
So I was going off of speculation and off of street credibility in a
sense. My interactions with Rick and being around Ricky and spending so
much time with him, I knew what a great man he was. I, like a lot of
other people, said if there is somebody I want to drive for, that's who
it is. I didn't get to see Childress's or Gibbs' operations."
DALE JUNIOR SAID YOU DON'T GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR STARTING YOUR NASCAR
CAREER
"Oh, he was just cracking jokes (laughs). He certainly was a big help to
me getting into the sport. I drove that Kingsford car a couple of times.
I'd never been on a radial tire and didn't know these tracks. In ASA, I
think the biggest track I'd ever been on was a mile. We thought we were
at Daytona USA when that happened. As I came into the sport, he was able
to give me advice and to help me through different situations - whether
it was the Kingsford car or buying my first motor home. That was the
most expensive thing I'd ever bought in my life. What do I do? And what
about a driver? How expensive is that? I remember having those
conversations with him too. It's funny how all these things come
together."
WITH THE GREAT ENVIRONMENT AT HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS, WERE YOU SURPRISED
THAT KYLE BUSCH HAS DECIDED TO LOOK ELSEWHERE?
"I guess I haven't thought about that. It is a little surprising. There
are other drivers that for whatever reason, things didn't mesh at
Hendrick and they wanted to pursue other opportunities. Brian Vickers
felt that way and went off to start his career with Red Bull. Kyle is a
great talent. As a group, we've been learning more and gelling more and
more as time has gone on. I wish him all the best. I think he's going to
be an extremely hot commodity and has a great opportunity. It think the
best place for him would be at Hendrick. But I wish him well and I know
that we're going to be racing against him for years to come. He's going
to be a serious threat week in and week out."
CHEMISTY, RECENT RESULTS, AND POTENTIAL, IS THE HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS
LINE UP THAT SHOWS UP AT DAYTONA IN '08 GOING TO BE MORE POWERFUL THAN
THE ONE THAT FINISHES OUT THE '07 SEASON?
"It's all about the people. Bringing Junior in is an important piece.
There is a lot that he brings to the table. A lot of it falls back on
the engineering staff and crew chiefs and all to keep developing the
best product on the track. That's what really takes place during the
off-season. The focus really is performance-based and it's on
technology. The driver is really the computer. It's the link to the
team. Regardless of who the driver is, we've got to keep focused on the
technical side so that Hendrick does stay strong year after year."
SOME OWNERS PIT DRIVERS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THEM.
IS IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT AT HMS?
"Rick lets us all be ourselves and do our thing. We're all in this
together. We win together; we lose together. I've never seen him
creating competitions between the drivers. He comes through and tries to
support every team where they need it. Every team has its weak spots.
That's where Rick is so good. He recognizes those things and addresses
them. That's where he likes to spend his time is to make people better
and to make teams better. So I have not seen that.
"On a bit more on Kyle, I'm not sure what's gone into his thought
process. He's made a big decision and I certainly wish him well. I look
forward to catching up with him at the track. I haven't had a chance to
talk to him."
IF YOU FOUND YOURSELF BEHIND JEFF GORDON AND DALE JUNIOR IN THE POINTS
STANDINGS, WOULD YOU STILL STAY WITH HMS?
"Absolutely. I truly feel in my heart that the No. 48 team is my team
and it's our responsibility to do the best job we can. And if my
teammates are outperforming me, I have access to their data and setups
and I need to learn something from what they're doing. And we've been
through that at times where we've been outperformed. And we go learn
what that driver or team is doing. There have been times when we're on
top and they come look at what we're doing. So I really feel at HMS you
have all the tools necessary to be a champion. And it's up to your team
to use those tools, which are your teammates and the engineering staff."
