Recently, NASCAR named Matt Kenseth as one of the top 75 NASCAR drivers of all time. Incredibly, NASCAR omitted Jimmie Johnson, 7-time Cup Series winner, from that list. Even, Kenseth showed dissaponiment. However, Chad Knaus, Johnson’s former crew chief gave him incredible news.
After NASCAR included Kenseth in the NASCAR75 list, he tweeted, “As honored as I am to make this exclusive list, I am equally disappointed that my good friend @JimmieJohnson was excluded. He had a solid career and I really feel like he belongs here. #74”
Jimmie Johnson reacted to Kenseth’s tweet, saying, “Not solid enough I guess.” Later, Earnhardt Jr. retweeted Kenseth’s comments to express his disappointment as well.

Knaus surprised Johnson by announcing his inclusion in the NASCAR75 list. Knaus said to Jimmie, “No surprise to me, but it might be exciting for you, that you have been named in the top 75 of NASCAR’s greatest driver of all time. So it’s my honor to tell you that today. It’s been a pleasure winning all these races with you…”

Johnson looked like he was in shock, as he said to Knaus, “I was not expecting that. I was like he’s getting really series for some reason. I don’t know what’s going on.”
