Johnson to host charity golf tournament
Quote selected text Published December 20th, 2007 in NASCAR News
The last time Jimmie Johnson climbed on top of a golf cart was disastrous — he fell off, broke his wrist and was embarrassed by the controversy the stunt caused.
But for charity, the NASCAR champion might be persuaded to climb on top of one again.
Johnson and good friend Nick Lachey told The Associated Press on Thursday they had partnered to form the Super Skins Celebrity Golf Classic, which will be held in Scottsdale, Ariz., in conjunction with the Super Bowl.
Johnson, who was horsing around on top of a cart when he fell last December during Mike Hampton’s celebrity tournament, didn’t rule it out.
“I might be talked into such a thing, if I can get some bindings to hold me on and make sure I won’t fall off,” he joked. “It is for charity, after all.”
