CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson tells The Associated Press that he is retiring from full-time racing and will turn his focus toward spending time with family.
He figures his future schedule will include no more than 10 bucket-list events.
The 47-year-old says he has no idea what his racing schedule will look like, or whether he’ll run any IndyCar races next season.
He wants to do the 24 Hours of Le Mans with NASCAR and Hendrick Motorsports, and has interest in “The Double” of the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day.
But he also wants to travel with his family and perhaps spend a year living abroad.
