A race weekend with Jimmie Johnson behind the wheel is finally on the horizon. This Sunday, Johnson takes to the track at Barber Motorsports Park in his maiden race in the IndyCar Series for Chip Ganassi Racing.

After a couple of decades, Johnson will compete for ‘Rookie of the Year’ honors. This time it is in an Indy car and Johnson will also have to face many more competitors who are, for a change, much more experienced than him.

However, the 7-time NASCAR Cup champ does not want to let that pressure get to him. For Johnson, his competition is

Later this month, Jimmie Johnson will kick off his IndyCar career with Chip Ganassi Racing. In the buildup to the first race of the season, he sat down with teammate Tony Kanaan for a chat. During their talk, the two of them recalled a funny story involving the seven-time NASCAR Cup champion.

Kanaan said, “I think it was the first bike ride we did at Daytona. Dario [Franchitti] was there, and in the middle of the ride, I have to actually blame Jimmie for that.

“We’re doing a bike ride ‘Drive for Safety’ and I’m starving in the middle of

Jimmie Johnson is now less than two weeks away from his IndyCar Series debut. The NASCAR legend is taking on a completely new challenge at the age of 45, and that is bound to come with some doubts and fears.

He recently spoke with former NASCAR Cup Series and IndyCar star, Danica Patrick, about his upcoming debut in the IndyCar Series.

The seven-time Cup champion admitted that he is fearful, just like anyone else would be in his position. “I think we’re all fearful of not being successful or not being competitive,” Johnson said, in response to a question from

Jimmie Johnson created quite the buzz in all his years as a NASCAR driver. What started off as a promising career, ended as one of the greatest careers in the history of the sport. Johnson stunned many with his exceptional records and statistics in NASCAR.

While Johnson has the company of the two other NASCAR legends as well in the ‘7-time champions club’, no one quite dominated the sport for a consecutive stretch of years like him. That is evidenced by his mind-boggling run of five straight Cup Series titles from 2006-10.

Last month, NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson revealed the look of his new no. 48 car in the IndyCar Series. Johnson had also contributed to the design of the new machine.

Carvana, the primary sponsor for Johnson’s IndyCar team, is allowing fans to choose the paint scheme for the no. 48 car through various options posted on the website. The campaign, called ‘Drive the Vote’, is for Johnson’s paint scheme for the GMR

Day by day, we are getting closer to seeing Jimmie Johnson tackle the IndyCar Series for the first time. Safe to say, he plans to make a real impression on the fans and on the grid. To do that, Johnson had a major hand in deciding the recently unveiled livery of his new IndyCar #48 ride.

So, when Jimmie Johnson makes his official debut in April, his car will bear the signature blue of Carvana. In addition to that, the car has a base color of black and gold.

Of course, Johnson will not be the only one sampling the

In 2021, the Chip Ganassi Racing team announced its intentions to join the Extreme E series. In the series, nine teams will compete in four rounds at seven races in total.

The Danish driver is partnering with Renger van der Zande, and both will race on a full-time basis. However, the identity of their third teammate remains unknown.
