Message: [QUOTE="BigBird, post: 2376896, member: 4247"] That there is not ONE athlete from motorsports disqualifies this attempt at a list for me. Jimmie Johnson has a record-tying 7 NASCAR championships, and has done something that the great Earnhardt and the self-promoting Petty never did: Winning 5 chapionships in a row. I understand, to a degree, why a magazine like GQ would diss or ignore NASCAR. It's simple. The GQ readerbase and the NASCAR fanbase would seem to have little or nothing in common. NASCAR geeks read Guns and Ammo, not GQ. But motorsports drivers ARE athletes; this was settled long ago. No Michael Schumacher, no Sir Jackie Stewart, no John Force? Pure nonsense. [/QUOTE]
