Fans believe Jimmie Johnson still has a lot of racing left in his tank

Since Jimmie Johnson hung up his racing suit in 2020, fans have begged for more of him on the track. He too made it clear that he wasn’t done with racing and he would still appear sporadically despite his other commitments. So far, he has been living up to that promise. Now with his recent tease, the fandom can’t wait to see him back as the hero who ran riot in NASCAR.

One fan wrote in response to Johnson’s post, “One more full time season “, asking for nearly the impossible. Just happy to see him come back to race, another said, “Can’t wait to see you back in the saddle Double J ” 

Optimism brimmed a couple of fans’ hopes as they added, “Let’s make it 8 time champ” and “Jimmie just come back and get one more championship. “.

Legacy Motor Club setting up shop with Toyota has been one of the most talked about topics all year. Excited to see the Chevrolet legend in a Toyota, one wrote, “Jimmie in a Toyota ❤️❤️❤️”.

With Erik Jones and new signee John Hunter Nemechek preparing to run with Jimmie Johnson, expectations from the team have skyrocketed. Fans hope the 7-time champion excels in both his driver and team owner roles.
