This... is Chandra Johnson
Chandra Johnson is the wife of NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Jimmie Johnson. The Wilhelmina model was introduced to Jimmie by his teammate, Jeff Gordon, in 2002. In December of 2003, he proposed on a mountain top in
Beaver Creek, Colo. where the couple was enjoying a skiiing-snowboarding
adventure. Chandra reportedly cried all the way down the mountain. They were married on Dec. 11, 2004 on the island of St. Barts, the location of their first vacation together and where Jimmie first told 'Chani' he loved her. The newlyweds honeymooned on #48 team owner Rick Hendrick's 150-foot yacht.
Chandra holds the responsibility for managing the Jimmie Johnson Foundation, the charity she and Jimmie launched in February 2006 which strives to help those in need, particularly children, achieve their dreams. That August, the Foundation announced its first grant to Kyle and Pattie Petty's Victory Junction Gang Camp. The Foundation raised several hundred thousand dollars to build Victory Lanes, a 5,000 square foot, four lane bowling alley, complete with a shoe counter, arcade games and a refreshment stand, which opened in 2007.
Chandra Lynn is the daughter of Jack and Lynn Janway of Muskogee, Okla. and is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma. Her birthdate is July 16, 1978.
