Just in case anyone wondered, Jimmie Johnson has not retired.

Not that it was ever really in question.

Turns out that Johnson's questioner mistakenly confused the six-time Sprint Cup Series champion with Jimmy Johnson -- the two-time Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl-winning coach turned FOX NFL analyst.

Hey @JimmieJohnson how much would it take to get you to come out of retirement? #nowhiring #12thMan #texags #sec
