Jimmie Johnson announced that he is retiring as a full-time racer to spend more time with his family.
Tony Stewart is the only driver to ever complete the 1,100-mile onslaught, but Johnson thinks he could become the second.
“You know me and endurance sports, and the double sounds awesome,” Johnson told AP. “I’ve always had this respect for the guys who have done the double. I would say it is more of a respect thing than a bucket-list item, and I’d love to put some energy into that idea and see if I can pull it off.”ChicagoAs far as off-the-track endeavors, Johnson mentioned how he wants to embrace his wife, Chani, and their children’s pursuits.
“Chani has always supported me to the nth degree and also at the same time had her objectives, desires and pursued her pathway and her career. I think she’s optimistically cautious I follow through with this plan,” Johnson told AP. “But these decisions are based around family needs and demands, and I think it gets tricky and a bit more complicated on my schedule if we can [get] some traction on travel and living abroad.
