CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson made a stop in Charlotte to read to a group of kids on Thursday.
He visited Briarwood Elementary for a book reading in celebration of Financial Literacy Month.
Johnson read "Planet Zeee and the Money Tree," a book written by Ally Bank to help build good money habits at an early age.

"Financial literacy is a very strong focus for us at Ally, and it's something that we see as a gap in many of our communities that we want to help address," Mike Rizer with Ally Bank said.
They also held a Jeopardy-style game designed to make financial discussions fun for the kids.
