Jimmie Johnson is a six-time NASCAR champion with 69 career wins and a massive trophy case. On Tuesday, Johnson was bestowed even more honors ... this time from his hometown of El Cajon, Calif.

El Cajon mayor Bill Wells proclaimed the day "Jimmie Johnson Day" in the state of California. Most cities give out a key ... but not El Cajon. Johnson received a No. 48 Taylor guitar.

Most cities give a key to the city. El Cajon knows Jimmie's love for acoustic music & went w/ a 48 guitar. Awesome pic.twitter.com/tHptySaiPo
