Sounds like Kristen moved around a lot. The article says she is from the same place as Jimmy Johnson. Says she is from NC. Jimmy Johnson is a California Boy. So it’s in more recent times that Johnson would move to NC where much of the NASCAR Industry is located. Johnson was born in El Cajon, California, and began racing motorcycles at the age of four. After graduating from Granite Hills High School he competed in off-road series. He raced in Mickey Thompson Entertainment Group (MTEG).
