Apparently there has been some sort of conspiracy theory amongst Jimmie Johnson’s biggest fans regarding his new facial style. They believe that since the three time Cup Series champ began sporting his new casual beard, his performance has taken a beating (31st at Daytona, 9th at Fontana, 24th at Las Vegas and 9th at Atlanta).
Johnson isn’t blaming his bad luck on the beard, instead he said, "I disagree on the unlucky thing. We've created most of the issues we've had. It hasn't been the beard."
Then adding, “If momma likes it, it's staying."
It appears momma (his wife Chandra) is in favor of it, because Johnson’s beard remained on his face at Atlanta. I do hold out hope that by Bristol it will be gone, not because I mind seeming him stumble, but because it’s creepy looking.
Johnson currently is sitting in 13th place just 177 points out of 1st place and only 18 points out of a spot in the Chase with 22 races to go before the Chase beings in September.
