Jimmie Johnson is just a class act.
What a great family. Dad does activities with his daughter and you can see how much love there is in that home. Jimmie, you're all right.
Not a huge Jimmie fan, but it was cool he and other NASCAR drivers do that for kids. I have to admit I did cry when she got the letter.
What a great family story!! Glad that this Kid was able to get her wish granted to meet Jimmie Johnson
I agree with her dad. Jeff Gordon is awesome!
People are complimenting more on Jimmie rather than the lovely girl. And I have to say, she is an inspiration to all of us, not just her but the others that fought through any illness and comes away a champion. I think its great for what you guys at MakeAWishFoundation are doing for those kids. Keep up the fantastic work all of you and thank you for sharing such delightful stories of every individual child.
I love Jimmie Johnson the first race I went to he won.
I live about 10 miles from Darlington and remember hearing about this but I'm just seeing it for the first time, it's so awesome these drivers understand a day out of their lives can really inspire and mean so much to people.

Great family! God bless you Jennifer, wishing you well. Jimmy Johnson and My Wish = one class act.
WOW! Talk about access! That was something that she will remember for the rest of her life! And then doing three laps on the track! Priceless!

I wonder if Jennifer knew that Jeff Gordon was part owner of Jimmie Johnson's #48 car?
I was never really a jimmie johnson fan but this touches my heart still and shows how good of a person he is
Jimmie Johnson is my favorite to
love the outdoors and nascar just like jennifer and her dad
Thank you for the kind words, MrCountryredneckboy. Check with your medical professional to find out if there are any social service agencies or organizations in your community that grant wishes for adults.
@coloradogal100 Thank you for supporting wish kids. We truly appreciate your generosity.
If this doesnt make you smile, i dont know what will make you smile, very very touching
MY HERO JIMMIE JOHNSON
I bet Jennifer is happy that the 48 won the Monster Energy Cup Series Championship.

"She lost her hair, but she never lost her dignity". Very cool.

So happy for you Jennifer
Thank you looking forward to hearing from you soon. :) This really means a lot to me.
awesome!
not a jimmie Johnson fan but after seeing this lots of respect for him ps go dale jr
Can't stand to watch Jimmie win, but this one has been the most emotional to watch. The part about how he knew people were gonna boo him was pretty funny.
wish a long and happy life
Oh how I wish!!!
Jeff Gordon won that race actually
I love the Make a Wish and I love the midwest accent

Make-A-Wish America U guys do great work
She is a so lucky
Jimmie Johnson never gives credit to anyone else and feels like he should be treated differently on the race track from every other driver even Gordon.. I would love to see try winning on any other team but the easiest way out in NASCAR.. But besides all of that very sweet video and made me have a little respect for JJ.
He looks like the best dad in the world. Skeet shooting and fishing, she lives the good life.
Who could dislike this?
Whoa....I honestly never knew those tracks were curved so much like that....holy crap....and going as fast as they do....jeezus.....
Haha Jimmie said swag :-)
No. 24 and 48 were teammates on Hendricks racing
cause you know that jimmie is the best out there YOU GO JENNIFER
Dear Make a Wish is there anyway I can write to Jennifer who met Jimmie Johnson to let her know her story was very touching and I too, would love to meet Jimmie Johnson myself someday. I've been a fan since his rookie season to the present and I've seen Jimmie WIN 5 championships and I'm looking forward to going to Charlotte NC sometime to the NASCAR Hall of Fame to view his race car. I've always liked Jimmie and always will! I hope to meet my favorite Mr. 5x someday.
i like jeff gorden he is awsome

I know how she feels to being told ya have cancer, my sister had cancer & she kicked butt and made it thru
Takes hell of a man to take the time to do that for that child way to go Jimmie!!!!
very cool
Go Jimmie
I want to meet him ... still! ;*)
In 2020 he is retiring :( even though I’m a chase elliot fan
u got to be a cold blooded mother fer if u dont shed a tear behind this
Very niceto see somehing good happen to these peole after having horrible diseaes
If that didn't make you tear up a bit, you ain't human.
im a kyle busch fan but jimmie u are the man for doing this. this was cool
I love NASCAR
❤❤❤❤👊👊👊👍
Just saw your email in our Inbox, Crazy4DonnyandMarie. Will send you a reply.
imagine she just booked it when she saw the cops? documentary ruined. regardless, i've been watching a lot of these videos and they're all so inspirational and i'm glad these kids get their wish.
Did her dad get to meet Gordon? He was Johnson's teammate.
I Really Want To Meet A Nascar Driver One Day
I am not a fan of Jimmie, nor ever will be, but he now has my respect. Well played sir, well played. I also saw Kyle Busch try to imitate him, and he failed miserably at trying to be like him. Although, another kid got his wish...
Hate Jimmie as a driver but love him as a person.
How is she doing now
5:32 Jimmie Johnson himself
theyre going to BOO us!! not a fan but this stuff really touches my heart
is this young lady still alive?
Thats why Jimmy does not get booed
28 SELFISH PEOPLE
No no no, that's not what I was getting at. I guess I could have used a different word actually. It's just that I have personally escorted Kyle around at Indianapolis a few times working security and there were a couple of times that he wouldn't sign autographs. Granted, maybe something had pissed him off, but doing something even as small as that is how you keep a fan base. I doubt he will ever lose every fan he may have, but I was absolutely dumbfounded at that.
I didn’t like jimmie johnson before i saw this but now he’s all right
27 PEOPLE HAVE NO HEARTS
my dad likes Gordon and I like jj its the same!
so sad Gordon retired
this is about make a wish.
this is what my grandpa has, he is in stage 4....
Not at all a Johnson fan but he definitely did some good

There going to boo us but dont worry hahaha that was funny
It's a shame that you don't appreciate the 2nd best driver ever statistically (Petty 270 plus wins is clearly #1)
Go Dale Earnhardt, Jr. 88 car.
I believe Jeff Gordon won that race too
Who is cutting onions?
What’s funny is Gordon won that race she went to 😂
I have the same disease. Plus I have 3 tumors in my head and I get headaches alot
