NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers gave it their best shot on the race track and for the fourth consecutive year, they couldn’t touch Hendrick Motorsports’ Jimmie Johnson.

So they did their best with words Wednesday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, just a short drive from the Wynn Las Vegas, the site of the 2009 awards banquet Friday night.

They were more successful in cracking jokes during a roast of Johnson than they have been in challenging him for the Sprint Cup title the past four years.

Their roast, as well as the jokes pointed toward all the Chase For The Sprint Cup drivers by host Broadway star Kevin Burke, bordered on R-rated and included jokes ranging from Johnson’s performance in the bedroom to his performance in a bar room.

Strangely (or really not), there weren’t many jokes about Johnson’s performance on the track. That was only something the drivers praised.

Here were some of the best – printable – jokes from drivers on Johnson:

• From Brian Vickers: “If it wasn’t for … Propecia, or something, he would be bald. His hair looks amazing. It’s won his four championships in a row. It’s got to be the hair because that’s about the time you started winning [when it grew back].”

• From Kasey Kahne: “Jimmie, you’re the man who has it all – money, a gorgeous wife, four consecutive championships, a winning personality. Well, money, a gorgeous wife and four consecutive championships.”

• From Kurt Busch: “When I go to Baskin-Robbins and I look at vanilla, it says ‘Jimmie Johnson’ right underneath it.”

• From Greg Biffle: “I’m not going to say a [expletive] thing about Jimmie because I’m sick and tired of hearing his name.”
