It’s great to see the happy faces on young fans when they meet their heroes in real life. One young fan got the ride of a lifetime with his hero Jimmie Johnson in a Corvette Z06 that will be raffled to support Johnson’s non-profit foundation.
But Jimmie didn’t just cruise around the block with Tyler, who is dealing with some health issues. Jimmie asks him what he wants to do in the new Corvette “with very low miles”. Tyler responds “Go fast?” but Jimmie counters him by asking if he want’s some donuts. Tyler is slightly confused at the question, probably wondering why Jimmie was offering him a snack as they were driving around a parking lot in the 650-hp convertible.
But that confusion didn’t last long as Jimmie cranks the wheel and steps on the gas, whipping the Z06 in a few circles while tire smoke and Tyler’s shrieks of joy fill the air. “That was awesome” says the young man as the car comes to a halt.
Tyler has some health issues & is a HUGE 48 fan. I surprised him w a spin in my @TeamJJF Corvette I’m raffling off: https://t.co/dOLVRCjuuf pic.twitter.com/2Tj0z8fOog
