From the car to his new office duties at Legacy Motor Club, 47-year-old veteran finds there's a lot to learn ahead of this year's Daytona 500.
Johnson described his last two years in IndyCar racing as a “growing opportunity."
The 47-year-old Johnson was now a team co-owner of Legacy Motor Club, facing issues and challenges he had never encountered. No longer a full-time driver, his decision to compete part-time in NASCAR meant he must now drive a car that was foreign to him. He participated in the NASCAR test at Phoenix Raceway last month and leaned on Legacy Motor Club’s Erik Jones to help him with the new car’s idiosyncrasies.
The car number is not the only thing different this time around for Jimmie Johnson in his return to NASCAR.Johnson acknowledges there is “pressure and stress and anxiety with anything you do in life, and there is plenty of that” in his team ownership’s role. However, the knowledge he’s helping build something for the future is energizing. Still, he admits he hasn’t figured out how to balance his time.
