My suggestion  is the  The IMITATOR.  I don't believe that he's as good as he appears.  Chad K is pulling the strings and has his hand up his back when he drives.

I'm thinking that no one can argue that based on results the nickname "CHAMP" is pretty appropriate

I'm not a Johnson fan... but when all this dies down years from now,.. and logial minds look at things like stats, wins, championships..  NO DOUBT Johnson is going to be named one of the best of his era,.. and probably all time.  He already ranks up there with Cale Yarborough, and Darrell Waltrip who were one of the best in their eras.. and JJ is MILES AND MILES ahead of old Jr whats-his-name.  Easy to compare that ESPECAILLY since they have EXACTLY the same equipment, just never figured out why folks think Jr is some kind of star..??   Roll Eyes   Huh?   Undecided

well I ill admit Hendricks has been caught with their hand in the cookie jar a couple times..
On the otehr hand... If Cheatin' Chad is doing it so much, and is mostly responsible for JJ success,.. then that ranks Chad in good company. 
Smokie Yunick was one of the best car builders ever,.. and he also was said to have cheated the most.  If he cheated as much as claimed,.. it would seem he got caught a very SMALL percentage of the time.
Back before we had all this CoT, ran stock bodies, make as much horsepower as you can, gear rules, transmission rules, etc.  Crate motors you KNOW are on the way. 
Too bad NASCAR had to take away all the injuity and ability of car builders to make one car superior to the others  Thats what racing was always about.  Run what you brung, and hope you brung enough.

Tyy, what makes you think we "Hate" Jimmie?   
Personally, I don't assign nicknames to those I don't like.
I appreciate Jimmie's accomplishments, but I also recognize his characteristics.
Compared to some of the other driver's personalities, he's less animated --- more reserved.
I don't say that's a fault, just an observation.

The only thing I "hate", ......... is hate.

I'am with you There HH lol !  Yes Hate is probably a Over Statement , Severe Dislike perhaps lol  !  I agree with your Observations as to his Reserved Nature , likely Why the "Vanilla Tag" .  You know my Loyalties , but I as you still respect his accomplishments ! I just wish he could end up Second at Seasons end at least this Yr to "That Silly Old Man !"  Wink

Your Loyalties are the same as mine, amigo. That "silly ol' man" Mark Martin.
If, .......... uhhhhh, ....... I mean WHEN Mark wins the championship    I'll have a party heard 'round the world and will last about a year. Y'all are invited.

Sounds about right...
Anytime a truely great driver comes along and wins all the time...  People come out of the woodwork and 'hate' them..
Happened to R Petty,... it's happened to J Gordon when he won all the time,.. Elliott was 'hated' by many during the mid to late 80's,  Happened to DW, and Dale Sr.
JJ is just the latest in a LONG line of drivers who people find it easy to 'dislike'.  Usually people get tired of seeing the same person win (no matter how good they are).  IMO this is also a product of a guy winning a lot,.. and THAT keeps YOUR drivers from getting to victory lane.  SO when it all boils down,.. many people hate a driver at a time... mainly because they know their drive probably can't beat him.
