Yet Johnson is not the only celebrity fond of high-speed racing and the thrill attached to it. NASCAR has witnessed more dignitaries and celebrities than events like the Oscars, for apparently driving around in circles is as hypnotizing and intriguing as it can get, literally.
So without further ado, here are 5 other celeb big-names who are too fond of cars driving around in circles in the NASCAR crown race,...

The 1997 race for the Heisman Trophy will be explored in an installment of the 14th season of ESPN’s “30 for 30” series.
Titled “The Great Heisman Race of 1997,” the ESPN Films docu will debut on Dec. 9 on ESPN immediately following the broadcast of the Heisman Trophy Ceremony, which will air on the network.
The doc will focus on the race between Peyton Manning and Charles Woodson. Manning stunned the sports world in 1997 by deciding to return for his senior season at the University of Tennessee and spurning the NFL, making him the Heisman front-runner as he set his sights on an SEC Championship. But while Manning was the preseason favorite, other candidates arrived during the season including Washington State quarterback Ryan Leaf, Marshall University’s wide receiver Randy Moss and Woodson (University of Michigan). The docu, directed by Gentry Kirby, will use archival footage to examine and unpack the race for the hallowed honor.

If The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 2 was meant to be a take on the Alien/Aliens horror film franchise, I can't help but feel it fell a little short.
I'll own the jumpscares were effective, but the tension build was undercut by the number of scene shifts to the various spaces where different crew members were deployed.
However, as an introduction to a new alien threat, it is an excellent start to a potentially terrifying conflict in the future.
Dr. Finn's visible apprehension regarding Admiral Christie's presence on the ship initially led me to the erroneous assumption that they had some violent sexual encounter in the past.
And while I'm glad that Dr. Finn doesn't identify as the trope of violated ingenue, part of me wonders about the power dynamic between a professor and his university student.
While Christie's affection for her seems genuine, and her talk with Grayson...
