this year pretty much worship at the feet of jimmie johnson who just won his sixth championship but if you hear the word nascar and think of a good ole boy you want to watch this. before he left for vegas, johnson stopped by our cnn studio and he revealed he's anything but a cliche. so, you finally had a little time to let this sink in. >> yes. >> you mentioned after you won that michael jordan won six title and you got a text. >> i sent when aim text. i said, now what? he said go get seven so it's time to go chase down seven. >> you are one title behind dale earnhardt sr. and richard petty. what does he make of you? >> i feel so fortunate to be in our sport at this time and have the opportunity to see the king and even before the race, he's one of the last people i talk to. putting the belts on, helmet on. he says, hey boy, you better enjoy it.
