The winners will be revealed July 13 when the awards ceremony airs live from Los Angeles.
In addition to his five consecutive championships, Johnson has another streak he'd like to continue. The driver of the No. 48 Lowes Chevrolet will try for his fourth straight win as Best Driver at this year's ESPYs. Johnson is also nominated for Best Male Athlete.
The defending Sprint Cup champion claimed the Best Driver award in 2008, 2009 and 2010. This year Johnson is up against three-time IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti, 15-time NHRA Funny Car champion John Force and four-time NHRA Full Throttle champion Greg Anderson.
Johnson is a repeat nominee for Best Male Athlete and faces competition from tennis great Rafael Nadal, Dallas Mavericks forward and 2011 NBA finals MVP Dirk Nowizki, and Green Bay Packers quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers.
