Seven-time NASCAR Premier Series champion Jimmie Johnson is in the spirit of the holiday season.

Johnson earned his ninth career grandfather clock at Martinsville Speedway back in October, and in a kind gesture, he gave it to Speedway Motorsports Inc. founder and chairman Bruton Smith.

He even stopped by Smith's house for a group photo.
