Jimmie Johnson is once again taking on his Twitter haters
Once again, Jimmie Johnson is taking on his Twitter haters.
Following his sixth place finish at Pocono Raceway, the 6-time NASCAR champion took to social media to congratulate winner Matt Kenseth. Cue the haters!
It all started with a since-deleted tweet calling Johnson (who's won four races in 2015) "washed up."
Yep, I haven't won a race all year... https://t.co/cqRVZZNLMV

Did it end there? Of course not!
@JimmieJohnson why do you and @keselowski insist on responding to people that hate on you instead of acknowledging a compliment?
