Jimmie Johnson considering Indy 500 entry next year ... if his wife lets him
Fox News
Jimmie Johnson is looking to schedule an IndyCar oval track test to prepare for a possible entry at the 2022 Indy 500. The seven-time NASCAR champion is only competing on road courses this season.
"We’re trying to set up a test for me to run a big oval so that I could then go to the Brickyard for the fall tire test that typically happens and go through my Rookie Orientation," Johnson told NBC Sports. "And we’re trying to find either Texas or Homestead. I need to run one of those two first before I can go to the ROP [Rookie Orientation Program] at the Brickyard in the fall." Johnson won the Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway four times during his NASCAR career, but there's a significant speed difference between the stock cars and open wheel/cockpit IndyCars at the track.More Related News
