"Feel like I'm falling out of the right side" - $160M-worth Jimmie Johnson once cracked up imitating Dale Jr. and Jeff Gordon's driving styles

Seven-time NASCAR Cup champion Jimmie Johnson was part of a formidable lineup at Hendrick Motorsports, alongside Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr., from 2008 until Gordon's retirement in 2015. In 2016, Johnson, worth $160 million (per CelebrityNetWorth.com), was challenged to imitate his teammates' posture behind the steering wheel.

While checking out the newly released Forza Motorsports 6 NASCAR Expansion, the former #48 Hendrick Motorsports driver showcased his humorous side with some entertaining driver impressions.

Beginning with the most popular driver, Johnson noted that Dale Jr's hands were always close together on the steering wheel, and his head constantly leaned to his right. While doing the impression, Johnson joked that he would fall out of his seat but admitted that Junior's driving style was effective for lap times.

"His hands are always over here somehow [imitates putting both hands close together]. Looks to me like his head's here when he's driving, I don't know why. Feel like I'm falling out of the right side. This is working, I'm pulling away from the guy behind me. Junior, you're onto something man," Johnson said.

Next, Jimmie Johnson observed that Jeff Gordon would lean back into his seat. Johnson was puzzled about how the not-so-tall Gordon managed to see over the steering wheel. Nonetheless, he found the position comfortable.

"Oh Jeff, he drives like this [leans back into his seat]. I don't know how, It's not like he's a real tall guy, and if he could see over the steering wheel. It's kinda comfortable."

When asked if he might fall asleep in that position, Johnson joked that he probably would and recounted a time when he climbed into the #24 Chevy.

"I think so, I got in his car in Phoenix a couple years ago and I'm like how do you do this," he said.

Johnson imitated the #5 Chevy driver's unique driving style in the cockpit, explaining that Kahne's hands would always be trembling. Johnson delivered a humorous imitation, playfully apologizing in the process.

"I'm gonna tremble a little bit with my hands for Kasey. Sorry Kasey, he does have the shaking thing though." (0:33)

Johnson then went on to imitate former Joe Gibbs Racing driver Kyle Busch, mimicking his distinctive driving posture by crouching deep into his seat and lifting his knees high.
