Oh look at this!

it's real thing too and...



it's uh . It changed in appearance over the last few years.
NASCAR's worked real hard to make them a lot safer,



um you start under the hood. You have all the ....

The President: Right.

Jimmie Johnson: So there's spec's anymore for everything. You can tell I don't do this often.

The President: Yeah, right.


Jimmie Johnson: Yeah. So there's spec's for the weight of the vehicle and the
tubing, a lot of the safety stuff that surround it.
But you build the chassis and body is all, except for the nose and the trunk is made of fiberglass,
it's provided by the manufacturer.
But in here is where the real magic has happened lately.
These seats are made of carbon fiber,
and we've been through some real extensive testing to control the
body in an impact and the head.
This is a mold that's made of my body and what's comfortable for
me, contains my head. And we also have a harness device that
goes around the neck.

The President: Now, -- this does not look like
my dashboard, guys. It looks a little different.

Jimmie Johnson: It's -- so over here is the main power switch.
The President: Right.

Jimmie Johnson: And then the two battery switches here,
so we've got two systems of everything in the car,
from radio boxes, ignition boxes,
and battery circuits as well. It's hard to see in here now,
but there's a series of five lights, and as --
-- the RPM gets close to the limit --
- you kind of use the gas and brake to maintain that speed for pit road.

The President:

Jimmie Johnson: My job -- there's no telemetry on the vehicle.
A lot of other forms of racing, they have active telemetry where you can see what's going on, so I have to be the computer.
Every -- every five to ten laps, I explain where I'm having trouble with the car so they can keep working on adjustments and combinations of things, from tire pressures, adjusting weight and springs and things like that.

The President:
constantly even as you're driving.

Jimmie Johnson: Yeah.

The President: It's like, okay, I feel like the left tire is a little off or
this or that or the other.

Jimmie Johnson: Truthfully, you feel like you're complaining all the time,
because all you're doing is telling them what it's doing
wrong, so at the end of the day when you see each other,
you feel bad almost to a certain degree, like, oh,
I've just been complaining all day long to you about this
vehicle, and we won, but, or we had a good day, so.

The President: All right, now, tell the truth,
Jimmie Johnson: I haven't one.

The President: You've never had a speeding ticket?
Jimmie Johnson: No.

The President: Is that because the cops, when they pull you over, they say --
Jimmie Johnson: No, no.
The President: -- hey, Jimmie Johnson --

Jimmie Johnson: No.
The President: -- and then they start talking to you about racing?

Jimmie Johnson: I think I'm able -- I'm a good spokesperson for this, I'm able to get out my aggression on the track and keep
it off the streets. I'm not pulling your leg.
Now I say that and I'll go get a ticket tonight on my own way
home. Do you want to start it up?

The President:
Jimmie Johnson: I'll make sure we get some throttle to it.

The President: He does that smooth, right? Even in a suit -- even in a suit,
he's got no problems with it.

Jimmie Johnson: All right.
The President: All right.
(engine starting)
That's what I'm talking about.
That's unbelievable. . Huh?

When you're on the straightaway,

Jimmie Johnson: Depends on the track, about the fastest track would be about 210
on the straightaway.

The President: Now, is there any point where you just go, man,
I'm going too fast here?

Jimmie Johnson: Right when something goes wrong, you think, you know what,
why did I put myself in this situation.
(laughter)
Jimmie Johnson: That's when -- that's when it really hits ya.

The President:

Jimmie Johnson: There we go.
The President: All right. Look, you didn't tear up the suit or anything.
