Jimmie Johnson Generously Tempers Expectations for Coca-Cola 600 Despite Charlotte Dominance
- Jimmie Johnson has won eight Cup Series races at Charlotte Motor Speedway, more than any driver in NASCAR history.
- Johnson retired from full-time stock car racing in 2020 but is participating in a few select marquee Cup races this year for Legacy Motor Club, which he co-owns.
- Johnson has had very limited experience in the NextGen car, which debuted in 2022, and could be stepping into the car cold when the race begins Sunday night.
- Johnson's expectations are modest for a driver who has won the Coca-Cola 600 four times, and he hopes to finish in the top 10 or top 15.
- Johnson plans to fly to Paris next week to begin preparations for his latest racing adventure at Le Mans, another of his coveted global marquee events.
