Chicago Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson beat out Chivas USA’s longest serving player, goalkeeper and team captain Dan Kennedy, in the final of “What’cha Got” driving contest, and now he’s got a new Lamborghini for the next year. This is kind of a big deal. Sean Johnson’s salary in 2012 was $90,000. The most “affordable” of Lamborghini’s, the Gallardo, runs about $200,000.
Here’s the YouTube
The contest, which doubles as an infomercial for a tire company embedded within the content of ESPN FC, pitted six MLS players in a Lamborghini racing tournament. Johnson’s final run clocked a time of 41.34 seconds. Kennedy hit two cones, picking up two half-second penalties, to finish with a time of 42.23.
And now Sean Johnson now has a one-year lease for a Lamborghini.
We know who’s going to have the sweetest ride in the parking lot of Toyota Park now this spring.
