Artifact of the Week: Jimmie Johnson Autograph
The 2011 NASCAR Cup Series saw the rise of tandem drafting at superspeedways, a short-lived phenomenon that led to exciting finishes.
In 2011, Jimmie Johnson, aided by teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr., won a race by .002 seconds, tied for the closest finish in NASCAR history at the time.
- Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. signed a checkered flag after the victory.
- The trophy Johnson won that day is also part of the collection.
The couple that tandems together, signs together.
Hendrick Motorsports has a total of 319 victories in points-paying races, making checkered flags a common sight.
