NASCAR fans and even a reporter on espn.com have said Jimmie Johnson is vanilla. The article said vanilla might mean too nice and Johnson started to use "a little profanity". I guess it bothers him. I think it means robotic (shows no personality or emotion). What do you guys think makes a driver vanilla and what one(s) if any are this way?

What I meant when I called him vanilla is that he has no personality. I like to see drivers with passion. Whether I agree with them or not. I don't care for Tony Stewart but he has a great personality. Same with Kyle Busch. Even Dale Jr. has a great personality. Johnson need to take the stick out of his butt and loosen up. He doesn't have to cuss, but speak his mind a little more.

Jimmie Johnson is definitely NOT too nice. He is a cheater, one of the worst cheaters in sports. He's worse than all Tour de France bikers combined!

Jimmie Johnson is not nice, not in the slightest. He is a bully. He is the kid that beats you up on recess to get your lunch money. Jimmie Johnson is a fraud. It is not his skill or passion that wins him championships. It's money. M-O-N-E-Y meaning My Own Nascar Eats Yours.

He is about as " vanilla" as they come! Doesn't help that he is Brian Frances little Golden boy pet project. JJ is like a little Nascar puppet whos strings are pulled by Nascar and his sponsors. He is a company man to a fault which makes him so boring it is not even funny.

That's what NASCAR wants in a driver who represents their sport.
Notice I said "their sport" and not "our sport"
