Jimmie Johnson to run two-race NASCAR Cup schedule in 2025


Seven-time NASCAR Cup champion Jimmie Johnson plans to run two series races this season, Legacy Motor Club announced Thursday.

Johnson plans to compete in the Feb. 16 Daytona 500 and the May 25 Coca-Cola 600.

Changes address playoff deviations, penalties to manufacturers and Damaged Vehicle Policy

He is seeking to make his 22nd start in the Daytona 500 – a race he has won twice. He must qualify for that race as his No. 84 car does not have a charter. Should he make the Daytona 500, the Coca-Cola 600 would mark his 700th career Cup start. Johnson has four Coca-Cola 600 wins.

Carvana will sponsor Johnson’s car at both events.

“I am thrilled to return to competition in 2025,” Johnson said in a team statement. “These two races hold a special place in my heart, and I’ve always loved the energy and excitement that surrounds them.

“The Daytona 500 is a crown jewel of NASCAR — there’s nothing like it. Charlotte Motor Speedway is where I made my first start in the NASCAR Cup Series, and it’s always felt like ‘home’ to me.”

Johnson will be in one of at least seven open cars competing for what is expected to be four spots in the Daytona 500.

The open teams entering the Daytona 500 are:

Martin Truex Jr. with Tricon Garage

JR Motorsports with Justin Allgaier

Beard Motorsports with Anthony Alfredo

Live fast motorsport with BJ McLeod

MBM Motorsports (driver to be announced later NASCAR did not approve of Mike Wallace)

NY Racing with JJ Yeley

Trackhouse Racing’s Project 91 with Helio Castroneves.
