Since stepping away from NASCAR, the seven-time Cup Series champion has raced full-time in IndyCar, earned podiums in some of the most prestigious endurance races on the IMSA schedule, and even took part in the Goodwood Festival of Speed. One could hardly call it a retirement.
He's no doubt been busy, and the 47-year-old has no plans of slowing down next year. He joins Petty GMS Motorsports as a co-owner of the No. 42 and No. 43 Chevrolet Camaros for the 2023 season. He will drive a third car in a handful of races too, including the season-opening Daytona 500. If he makes the show, it will be Johnson's 20th appearance in NASCAR's biggest race.
