This man did it right from start to finish. Won everything and never changed who he was. I can’t wait to spend next year observing the weekly celebrations of one of the greatest to ever do it. https://t.co/ENMbctDABt

The first time we met, he had never driven a cup car.. He treated me like someone he had known forever.. 7 championships, 83 wins, 364 top tens, 36 poles and he still treats me exactly the same. Just as he does everyone.. He has never changed.. #chasing8 https://t.co/JgAZREY0AY

From calling him a teammate to covering him from the booth JJ has always set the standard high. Wishing him a great final season. Hats off to you champ. https://t.co/BcMjO4Di76

Covered a lot of athletes in my career and @JimmieJohnson is near the top of the list in both performance and class

It’s hard to imagine a NASCAR Cup Series race without @JimmieJohnson in it. He changed the sport in so many ways – all for the better – and was a towering presence both on and off the track. He deserves every tribute he will receive in the next 12 months, and there will be many.

Sure, Jimmie has been a great champ & piled up a boatload of stats, but the coolest thing about him to me is how he always patiently tries to genuinely answer even bad, tough or silly questions (or ones that already been asked a bunch). A chat with him is always a good experience https://t.co/osJnO4Wwfq
