Jimmie Johnson is set to get back involved in the NASCAR Cup Series in a big way.
The legendary NASCAR driver is reportedly set to return to the sport in a major way for the 2023 season and beyond.
Jordan Bianchi first reported the news.
“Jimmie Johnson is finalizing a deal to obtain an ownership stake within the Petty GMS organization starting in 2023, sources close to Johnson and Petty GMS have told @TheAthletic. Johnson will also drive in select races for the team. An announcement is expected this week,” Bianchi reported on Wednesday night.

“Would love to see the GOAT back in NASCAR in any capacity,” one fan wrote.
“The King + 7 Time,” another fan added.
“So that’s why Jimmie’s been posting race clips the past few weeks….” one fan added on social media.
