JJ Named Forbes' Most Influential Athlete

For the second year in a row, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Jimmie Johnson topped Forbes' list of "America's Most Influential Athletes."  Johnson, who won the series championship consecutively from 2006-10, outranked NFL quarterbacks Eli and Peyton Manning, as well as Tim Tebow on this year's list.  Johnson drives the number-48 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, with Lowe's Home Improvement as the team's primary sponsor.  While Johnson remained atop the list, his Hendrick teammate, Dale Earnhardt Jr., who is NASCAR's most popular driver, dropped from third to seventh.  Jeff Gordon, also from Hendrick, fell off the list this year.
