Five-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson is featured in the newest edition of ESPN The Magazine. The “Photo Issue” is on newsstands now.
In a piece by award-winning writer Ryan McGee, Johnson describes a lesson he learned many years ago while racing dirt bikes that has kept him from getting into fights since becoming a NASCAR driver.
The best way to introduce an issue devoted to images is to turn it over to photographers right off the bat (or racket). ESPN The Magazine’s “Photo Issue” features “A Day in the Life of Sports,” which captures a single day in the world of sports – Saturday, May 7, 2011 – from Pacquiao-Mosley and Heat-Celtics to the Kentucky Derby and much more.
