Jimmie Johnson finds inspiration in Babe Ruth

The first seven races of the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season have been uncharacteristic, to say the least, for Jimmie Johnson. The seven-time champion has only recorded one top-10 finish -- a ninth-place at Auto Club Speedway -- and is 21st in the points standings just over a quarter of the way through the 26-race regular season. WATCH: Johnson involved in multi-car wreck at Texas But Johnson isn't panicking. That's not something champions do. Following a 35th-place finish in Sunday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, Johnson looked no further than legendary Major League Baseball icon Babe Ruth for some inspiration. https://twitter.com/JimmieJohnson/status/983355133504434177 As the series heads to Bristol Motor Speedway, a track where Johnson has earned a pair of victories, maybe an inspirational quote from "The Great Bambino" is just what "Seven-Time" needed.
