Jimmie Johnson’s ‘Disappointed Dad Move’ Further Embarrasses Under Performing Driver After Kansas Mishap

What happens when you really want to get a grasp of something but fail continuously? You get frustrated. The same is happening with seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson. His pursuit of making a mark, even with the Next Gen car, is getting hampered by something or the other. In this past week’s race at Kansas, despite a shaky start, he was getting along quite well. However, a questionable move from a fellow driver not only spun him out but also frustrated him enough to burst out a “disappointed dad” move.

The driver who ruined another one of Johnson’s promising outings was none other than Spire Motorsports‘ star driver, Corey LaJoie. However, it is not that straightforward, as fans are still debating about who was in the wrong in the interaction.

Many fans believe that it is Johnson himself responsible for his own crash because he slowed down while edging past the corner. But let’s listen to what the #7 Chevrolet driver has to say about the Kansas incident.

Jimmie Johnson gave Corey LaJoie ‘the look’ after the spin

The collision between LaJoie and Johnson brought out a caution with the latter fetching a DNF. What’s funny is that LaJoie didn’t know who he wrecked in the race, due to all the smoke. He realized it later when he saw Johnson standing by the ambulance, waiting for his car, giving him a disappointed look.

In the latest edition of his Stacking Pennies podcast, LaJoie said that Johnson would be the last guy he would want to spin. “I felt bad. I haven’t talked to him yet. He wasn’t even mad. He was just disappointed. I’m driving by and I’m like, I saw the car first. I’m like, oh, s**t, that looks like it hurt. And then I saw Jimmie standing behind the ambulance just like giving me like, a disappointed dad look. And I’m like, oh no, Jimmie.”
