On the Track
Special Paint Schemes
The Jimmie Johnson Foundation logo has been featured on multiple cars in the Sprint Cup Series, Nationwide Series, and even a dirt car! Special thanks to Lowe’s for allowing Jimmie to run the No. 48 Lowe’s/Jimmie Johnson Foundation Chevy Impala at Auto Club Speedway each year. Jimmie won the Fall 2007, Fall 2008 and Fall 2009 Sprint Cup races with the special paint scheme. The paint scheme is a great way to generate awareness for the foundation. In addition, the foundation has created collectible die cast for each car to help raise funds to further the mission of the foundation.
