- Jimmie Johnson has returned as a NASCAR Cup Series driver for his own team, Legacy Motor Club. However, he has not performed up to the level of Erik Jones, John Hunter Nemechek, or even Corey Heim. Whether it's the next generation car, not running full-time, or getting old Jimmie Johnson is struggling. Is there a way to return the results around?

Is Johnson really out there for anything other than getting all these new sponsors on legacy Motorsports cars
Right? Just because the sport is a shark-jumping joke doesn’t mean Jimmie has to be.
He’s basically the Belichick of the Johnson/Knaus duo. He’s struggling without cheating
Are you nuts? If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying!! This man won 5 championships in a row bro!! Stop being disrespectful please.
I really would like Jimmie to return full time in Nascar to see if the stars come together and get his eighth championship (I went too far with that comment)
It would be great but I hate to say he won't sadly.
I’m saying this as a Jimmie fan but he won’t get the 8 time championship
As a Jimmie fan, I agree the fact he’s gotta completely change his driving style with very little run time is the thing causing this. But as seen before he got caught in someone else’s mess the past couple of races he’s been improving in running position steadily
Raise your hand if you’ve been sweating through this whole season as a Jimmie fan 😓✋🏻
Jimmie was always overrated great racer but not as good as people think made to look better by the playoffs Hendrick equipment and Chad k not on dales or pettys level
@@Alex-dc5mxhe has as many championships as both and more wins than sr. He's definitely on their level
I think jimmie isnt racing with the goal to win (im sure he still wants to win but hes also not delusional)... i think hes racing as a "team player" hes trying to gather data for his team to help that development plan while also having fun doing what he loves
I feel like Hendrick for a few years had a way of masking two very fast cars between four teams. Ultimately you would see them end up with one championship contender, one very fast car, and two that barely scraped into the playoffs at best. And the way they have so many cogs in that machine, I wouldn't be surprised if the best equipment got moved around at the drop of a hat.
It's weird to think going back though of how much the last 6 years vindicated the absolute desperation we saw in Jimmie at that Roval race in 2018 when he dive bombed Truex.
If you would have told me that only a year removed from a 3 win season, that would be Jimmie's last genuine shot at a win with over two years left at Hendrick, I would have scoffed.
I cant remember where he said it, but it was an ontrack interview this season, and Jimmie openly said he just didnt quite understand the next gen car yet. Like you touch on in the video, the current car requires almost a complete stylistic shift from what he is not only used to, but a proven winner utilizing his loose setups. When you watch him run traffic and fight for positions deeper in the field, you can see his talent is still there at times. Ive also speculated for awhile his car is not up to par with the other 2 LMC entries, whether its being used as a test car or whether its just lacking the same quality.
If we were to magically just make Jimmie understand what he needs to do overnight, and put him in say the 43 car, Id imagine hed be running consistently in the like 15th to 22nd range.
I would love to see him make some xfinity starts, the car is very similar to the Gen 6.
Do you realize he was BAD from 2018-2020?
Jimmie is really just running for fun these days, i wish Jimmie would run full time but i know its a pipe dream
Wish he would've stayed in IndyCar doing an oval only schedule. He was making progress and had a 6th at Texas and 8th at Iowa.
That's in line with quitting before striking gold. Jimmie Johnson arguably gave up too soon in his IndyCar like his full-time cup career.
His team has also been trash. The Hendricks team with his talents was insane. Now he doesn’t have a good team and the next gen is hard to drive
I think Jimmie fell behind as a driver by not racing in 2021 and 2022, and only doing part time the last two years. Even when he "retired" in 2020, his performance had already been off compared to his prime.
3:25 "Actually, the 5 car is technically Dale Jr's old ride bc it was the 88
No the 5 car was the 48. It's literally his old team.
Not really, it was the same car and team that Jimmie was running in 2020 the 48 number was used on the old 88 Alex Bowman was driving.
I really thought you were going to take a dunk on Jimmie Johnson but you're actually really telling him how he can become better in the next gen car.
But what I can heard on something that he said is that he is doing this for fun.
It's hard to get into a car you're not familiar with and only be allowed 20 minutes of practice
I've seen a lot of people try to come up with many reasons as to why Johnson fell off after his 7th championship, but to be honest, the team as a whole was on a decline even during that season. His 7th championship was his most underwhelming by far, and the only reason he won it was because for some reason Kyle Busch pit on the last caution and Logano and Edwards took each other out. He didn't win it because of a typical dominant Johnson performance, he won it by process of elimination. Jimmie's 7th Championship, statistically, is the worst season for any Cup series champion in the history of the sport. The next year, ALL of HMS was on the backfoot. The entire team hit a decline around that time. It took them a few years to rebound from it. There was a lot of shuffling around at the time. Chase Elliott hadn't been around for too long, they just brought Larson on board, chess pieces across the board were getting moved around and I don't think HMS was prepared to lose Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr back to back like they did. Those two were both in the top 3 for most profitable drivers in the sport at the time, and Johnson was the third in that group. At the same time, you've got young blood like Chase Elliott on the team now who you also need to establish as a future star, you can't just cling onto Jimmie forever. The whole HMS decline a few years back I attributed to them losing a lot of pieces, shuffling pieces around, and overall just rebuilding.
It all goes down to that Pocono crash, ever since then, there have been moments of brilliance but very few. He should have got a job with Hendrick motorsports instead of going to indycar and then owning his own cup team.
He should run a few xFinity races maybe before running full time at the Cup with the next gens
Jimmie is in his “Michael Jordan on the Wizards” era.
I wouldn't even say that. Jordan still averaged around 25 ppg with the Wizards
More like in his "Michael Schumacher at Mercedes" era
But whyyy can't Jimmie Johnson go on a full-time schedule
Jimmy needs Cheatin' Chad as his crew chief to win.
It's because the window in the driver door is to small for his ego to get through.
I swear he should just race in WEC He's already living in the uk
Ricky Senior got his ass whipped
It’s not the physical strength it’s the aging, the guy is in top top shape but with age you lose reflex’s you loose that link between brain and body and with having a wife and kids and a lot to loose you without a doubt even subconsciously lose that fearlessness, also, there is no substitute for seat time. If he ran full-time, he would do significantly better. You cannot expect to do well running five races a year in the top United States motorsport it’s not arca east it’s cup
When out of a Hendrick car you become a basic driver.
Man I like Jimmie Johnson. But he is seriously tarnishing his legacy by even getting into that 84 car! If you're going to retire and be an owner then do THAT. It's just embarrassing at this point for him.
If Jimmie Johnson decides to hang up his helmet, tell Black Flags Matter to make a NASCAR bust on his time in LMC.
Firing Gragson over the George Floyd meme was a low moment
When did nrf rebrand?
Yes. NRF Productions still exists but will be for historical content. Fuel Cell Full is for videos regarding modern NASCAR topics.
@@FuelCellFull I see that, good luck with the new project!
He lost "IT" years ago. Wasnt fast in Indycar and didnt improve much,i remember a good race at Iowa and thats it.Was the slowest driver by far in IMSA on his team as well.
Jimmy Johnson was to the IRL.
What Micheal Schumacher was to the men's downhill slalom.
Didn't Jimmy's wife's side of the family mass-murder the entire family?
Jimmy Johnson is to blame. They obviously snapped unable to cope with the embarrassment.
Hey we got better drivers today then why he use to race against yeah he race Busch brothers Brad K and so on like Kevin Harvick and Chase Elliott but back then we only had like 6 drivers that could compete with him now we have like 15 good drivers
I have been a Jimmie J fan since like 2002-ish. but i think he needs to just stop racing. he is an amazing driver and a living legend. but he has to accept that he is not a driver anymore. he is only hurting his name by running and failing every race.
He's nothing without cheat knaus
Of course he is struggling. He can not cheat like he always does. I mean ALL those races he won. But failed end of race inpections. But Nascar let him keep the win.
He needs to retire from driving even a limited schedule. If he's looking for past glory he's wasting his time
because all he is now is an also ran.
🤣
