CAR: Subaru WRX Johnson made the jump to professional rally driving in 2006 after attempting to balance a regular job with his love of rally. He was the Production GT class champion in 2006 and 2007 and tied for fifth overall in 2008, his first season in Open class. He is running in the Super Production class in 2009 and it's been a struggle: he is sixth in the class and 13th overall (as of 07/09/09). He was 18 when he discovered the sport through a rally video and has been devoted to the sport since 2000.

The Gamer Jon Robinson takes a wild ride to preview the upcoming "DiRT 2."
