Jimmie Johnson posted a photo of his Trek a while back on Twitter. Not sure how many other stock car drivers ride, but it does seem like a good way to keep fit (except for bulking up arms to steer those big front tires!).

Dude, Landon Cassill's quads!!
I'm a bit of a race fan, cool to see some of the drivers and crew out there riding.

Do you think it was intentional?

Cool, but given the recent news, isn't "casualty" an unnecessarily loaded word for a skinned knee?

Buddy of mine did the Assault on Mt Mitchell a few weeks back. Rode a good portion with Jimmie Johnson. Said he was a very good climber and amazing descender.

I'm not surprised that a lot of drivers are into something like cycling. I came back to cycling because I wasn't in good enough shape to do well in my Spec Miata. A lot of people think that race car drivers are beer swilling bubbas but that couldn't be farther from the truth. It takes a lot of stamina to stay focused and drive a car at the limit for 25-30 miles, much less the 300-500 these guys drive.
