Johnson had won a race, and Ricky Hendrick invited them over for a pool party that evening.

Things started to get wild, and they ended up pouring detergent into the pool to turn it into a foam party.

According to Johnson, the whole scene was like a cartoon.

“It looked like a cartoon when you see the cartoon character dive in the shallow end and their feet are still sticking up.”

Dale Jr. got too hot in the hot tub and decided to jump in the pool, but he couldn't see the bottom for all the suds.

He ended up with an X-shaped hole in his head, but was only worried about ruining the party.

“I was embarrassed to death. It was like 1:00 in the morning, peak hour of the party, still chugging along this party.”

Johnson was more worried about the massive gash in Junior's forehead and offered to take him to the Hendrick Motorsports doctor to get it fixed up.

“Jimmie is like, we got a guy. HMS has a doctor, he’s on call, he’ll meet us and we’ll get this fixed…”
