Jimmie Johnson gets in on some planking action

Twitter might be the best thing that ever happened to Jimmie Johnson … well, outside of family, friends and those five Sprint Cup championships, of course. The social network gives him the opportunity to show he’s not a vanilla automaton, as with this photo he posted Thursday morning of his version of "planking."

Don’t know what planking is? That’s probably because you’re not a young, single kid unburdened with things like bills, obligations and common sense. "Planking" involves placing your body in as straight a position as possible on everything from park benches to tables to, well, Sprint Cup cars. The fad got a bit of notoriety this past weekend when somebody in Australia planked his way right off the side of a seven-story building and, well, died. So be careful up there, Jimmie.

"I wish I wore a helmet," Johnson said afterward. "My forehead is killing me."
