The race car driver won his age-group at a triathlon before competing in a NASCAR race later that day.
Jimmie Johnson proved he can do more than win NASCAR races.
The six-time Sprint Cup champion won the 35-39 age group at the Over The Mountain Triathlon in Kings Mountain on Saturday hours before heading to Charlotte Motor Speedway to compete in the NASCAR All-Star Race, where he wound up sixth.
