[autotag]Jimmie Johnson[/autotag] returned to NASCAR as Legacy Motor Club’s new co-owner for the 2023 season, and his presence has only increased. Johnson has competed in several NASCAR Cup Series races during the 2024 season as he works behind the scenes for the organization. Now, the seven-time Cup Series champion will start a new journey in May.
Johnson announced that he will join NBC Sports to perform his version of “The Double” by contributing to the pre-race and race coverage of the 2024 Indianapolis 500 and competing in the Coca-Cola 600 that night. Johnson will also serve as an NBC Sports analyst in the Cup Series races at Daytona on August 25, Talladega on October 6, and Phoenix on November 10.
Not the history I dreamed of making as a kid, but life always brings new adventures. I'm extremely excited to be taking on the double with @NBCSports.

The Legacy Motor Club driver is also scheduled to drive the No. 84 car for his organization at Phoenix in November. Overall, this is a cool opportunity for Johnson and race fans, as more coverage from NASCAR’s greatest driver is excellent. It is remarkable that Johnson is back in NASCAR, and hopefully, this trend of more involvement continues.
