A news conference on Wednesday at Lowe's Motor Speedway told you everything you need to know about Jimmie Johnson.

The three-time reigning Sprint Cup champion was asked about the prospects of winning seven NASCAR Sprint Cup titles -- the number, of course, that Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty share as the most ever. Johnson, ever the modest and self-doubting gentleman, politely answered that it would be "insane" for his team to win four more titles before his career ends.

Great answer, Jimmie. But come on, dude, let's be real -- we all know that answer is about as far from the truth as it can get.
