One of the most celebrated figures in NASCAR is set to make a limited return to the track this season. Jimmie Johnson, a seven-time champion and NASCAR Hall of Fame member, will participate in two of the sport’s most prestigious races. The first event on his calendar is the Daytona 500, scheduled for February 16th. Johnson will drive the No. 84 Toyota for Legacy Motor Club, a team he co-owns. This marks an important milestone as it would be his 22nd start in this iconic race. Johnson has previously won the Daytona 500 twice, in 2006 and 2013, adding significant weight to his already illustrious career.

The second race Johnson plans to compete in is the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 25th. This race holds a special place in his heart as it was where he made his debut in the NASCAR Cup Series. If Johnson participates in this year’s event, it will mark his 700th start in the series. His partnership with Carvana continues to thrive, entering its fifth year. Carvana has been instrumental in supporting Johnson’s endeavors both on and off the track. Ryan Keeton, Carvana’s co-founder and Chief Brand Officer, expressed enthusiasm about working with Johnson again, emphasizing their commitment to creating a memorable livery for this significant milestone.

Jimmie Johnson’s return to these two major races highlights not only his enduring passion for racing but also his lasting impact on the sport. His participation in the Daytona 500 and Coca-Cola 600 underscores the excitement and prestige that accompany these events. Johnson’s legacy in NASCAR is unmatched, and his continued involvement serves as an inspiration to aspiring racers everywhere. It’s a testament to his dedication and the unwavering support from partners like Carvana that keeps him connected to the sport he loves.
