The qualities I look for in a hero are success, talent, and fairness. To me Jimmie Johnson has success by winning about 55 races and 5 championships in a row. Jimmie Johnson also has about 25 poles and about 203 top ten finishes. Jimmie Johnson has talent, evidenced by all of his success, and fairness because I have never seen him get in fights with the other drivers. Jimmie Johnson treats other drivers with respect, but the number one thing I look for in a hero is friendliness. Jimmie Johnson shows friendliness when he is being interviewed, when he is on the track, when he is with his teammates (Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, and Dale Earnhardt Jr.), and to the whole world. To me Jimmie Johnson has all of the qualities I look for in a hero.

I have chosen Jimmie Johnson as my hero because he is one of the best NASCAR drivers and he has great sportsmanship. Jimmie Johnson has great sportsmanship because if another driver gets in an accident after the race he will go over to their trailer to see if the driver is okay. Another reason I have chosen Jimmie Johnson as my hero is because he is my favorite NASCAR driver and NASCAR is a really cool sport. I have also chosen Jimmie Johnson because he is my favorite NASCAR driver, he will always have great talent, and Jimmie Johnson will always be my hero.

Jimmie Johnson is all of what I said he his. Jimmie Johnson will always have talent, success, fairness, friendliness, and sportsmanship. He will always be the same driver, person, and father. Most of all he will always have the same fans, be a NASCAR driver and have the same friends and family. This is why I have chosen Jimmie Johnson as my hero and my favorite racecar driver.
