Johnson injures wrist in golf cart incident at celebrity tourney
NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson broke his left wrist after falling from a moving golf cart while horsing around at a celebrity tournament in Florida. Officials said he was on top of the cart when it hit a berm and he landed awkwardly, ruling him out for driving for four weeks. He will miss the Race of Champions in Paris but will travel as a consultant for Team USA. Johnson capped a whirlwind year by winning the Nextel Cup, Daytona 500, and Indianapolis event before the setback.
