DARLINGTON, S.C. – Seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson has been named the winner of the National Motorsports Press Ass’n’s Myers Brothers Award. Each year, the NMPA Myers Brothers Award winner is selected by a vote of the NMPA membership. “What an honor,” Johnson said when he learned of the award. “The Myers Brothers have been such a big part of this sport. Every year as I sat through the luncheon at the banquet, I was always so proud of the winners of this award, and to be the recipient of the 2020 award truly humbles me. “I think the thing about Jimmie through all that, he’s the same Jimmie Johnson,” team owner Rick Hendrick said when asked to reflect on Johnson’s 20-year career.
