Jimmie Johnson commercial appreciation thread

ESPN rolled out their latest “Winning Means Everything” commercial this weekend at New Hampshire, this time starring Jimmie Johnson.

The 2012 ads features a twist, with the concept shifting over to, “There’s nothing more painful than losing.”

For a driver that many consider ‘vanilla,’ Jimmie Johnson has been the star of an awful lot of quality NASCAR commercials over the years. “Pricklebear” is just the latest example.

Without further ado, here’s the most recent ESPN offering. A selection of our favorite Jimmie Johnson commercials can be found after the jump!
