7-Time NASCAR Champion Once Took His Daughters to See the New York Yankees Play for Their First Baseball Game

Even though the New York Yankees have tasted any glory over the last few years, they remain one of the biggest sports franchises with a massive fan base. Thanks to their rich history, even athletes of different domains and several celebrities are die-hard Yankees fans.

One such fan is a NASCAR legend, who took his kids to their first baseball game at Yankee Stadium in 2017.

When talking about the NASCAR legend, he is none other than Jimmie Johnson, who is a 7-time NASCAR champion. Currently a father of two beautiful daughters, Johnson enjoyed an illustrious NASCAR career between 2002 and 2020.

In his own words, Jimmie’s daughters had never been to a baseball game until he took them to the Bronx in 2017. Notably, he was still a racer in NASCAR at the time.

This happened on June 21st, 2017 and the NASCAR champion shared pictures of the same on Twitter. In the Tweet, he said, “The girls first ⚾️ game. #yankees”.

Johnson and his family seemed to have enjoyed the game in the pictures that he posted. And Johnson could even be seen wearing a Yankees cap to support the team. The NASCAR legend might have been disappointed with the result as the Yankees suffered an 8-3 loss against the Los Angeles Angels in the game they attended.

The Yankees are planning some big moves:

According to reports, the New York Yankees are trying to bring in more talent to support Aaron Judge. And reports have stated that they may be in the race to sign Carlos Correa. The star shortstop is currently a free agent and the Yankees may be one of the teams trying to land him.

Although they may not be able to sign Correa, the Yankees will have to put more pieces around Judge to win. Furthermore, the team needs to reinforce its pitching department as well. The market is thinning as the offseason progresses and the Yanks will need to sign people sooner rather than later.
