NASCAR: Five Memorable Victory Celebrations

Mistakes Happen

Jimmie Johnson has done it all in the span of 14-year career in the Cup Series. He’s won countless races, dominated multiple seasons, captured seven championship and even accidentally celebrated once after a huge wreck at Watkins Glen in 2003. Well, it wasn’t exactly an incident as he was probably just happy that he was able to walk away in one piece, but he did stop to do a fist pump to celebrate

The incident occurred at Watkins Glen in 2000, when Jimmie Johnson lost the brakes in his car and ran full speed into the sand trap, which eventually ended in him hurdling towards the wall. When the incident was over, Jimmie Johnson climbed up to the roof of his car and celebrated to let his team and the media know that he was okay.
