NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Jimmie Johnson is set to make a return to his racing roots in a significant way. The seven-time NASCAR champion, who initially started his motorsports career in offroad racing, is gearing up to join the Extreme E racing series in the coming weeks.
In partnership with the team he co-owns, Legacy Motor Club, Johnson will field an entry in the Extreme E series, which is sanctioned by the FIA. This unique series utilizes electric SUVs to compete in offroad races across various locations, including the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
