Jimmie Johnson Admits It’s His Fault Dale Earnhardt Jr. Outshines Him

"They’re smart, very intentional, working their asses off," Johnson said, crediting Junior and sister Kelley's branding efforts. Despite seven titles, he admitted, "I haven’t done a good job." Seeing shirts for Petty and Earnhardt Sr. during the past Richmond event, but not his own, drove home the gap. Now, Johnson aims to elevate his brand, especially as a team owner.
