NASCAR Cleverly Props the Door Open for Jimmie Johnson’s Return in 2023

Kevin Harvick has criticized NASCAR for slow safety improvements. Bubba Wallace became the latest non-playoff driver to win a playoff race. Kyle Busch has finalized plans to move to Richard Childress Racing.

Jimmie Johnson retired from NASCAR after the 2020 season. He won 83 races and had 291 top-10 finishes in 686 races. Johnson jumped into IndyCar and SportsCar Championship racing last year.

Jimmie Johnson won the NASCAR All-Star Race four times from 2003-13 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. His last appearance came in 2020 at Bristol Motor. The last two editions were at Texas Motor, but NASCAR has awarded the 2023 All Star Race to North Wilkesboro.

Jimmie Johnson's sponsor, Carvana, has re-upped for 2023. He hasn't set his schedule yet. Johnson raced the Indianapolis 500 and the four ovals on the IndyCar schedule this season. The multi-time champion wants to go to Le Mans. He is interested in the Garage 56 entry that Hendrick Motorsports and NASCAR will take to the Le mans.
