Jimmy Johnson victory lane reference
 

During the first interview Jimmy mentioned a driver in the Midwest who died who raced number seven. I did not recognize the name. Did anyone else? Anyone know the story?

In the Interview he mentioned the drivers name but it was Bryan's.

everyone in Wisconsin thinks he mentioned Al Schill Jr.

just watched a replay of the interview and he did say Al Schill Jr. a Wisconsin racer that left us to soon. also raced #7.

Wasn't Jimmy a teammate of Mark Dismore's son in a stock car series after he came out of the off road truck series? Was it ARTGO maybe??

Not that anybody cares, but it's Jimmie.

Did a Google on Al Schill Jr. seems like a tragic lost.
