Can Jimmie Johnson make it to the playoffs?

Johnson will race in the “Drydene 311” NASCAR Cup Series races on Saturday, Aug. 22, and Sunday, Aug. 23. The circuit holds “Drydene Doubleheader Weekend,” highlighting consecutive NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Cup Series races as he endeavors to add to his record Dover triumphs.

Jimmie Johnson’s famous No. 48 Chevrolet is getting another livery change for the rest of the 2020 season, his last full-time season before resigning.

Johnson will race with a white-based livery with Ally Financial’s purple and fuchsia colors. It is something contrary to the dark based look he’s generally had the last two seasons.

Jimmie Johnson is still attempting to meet all requirements for the 16-driver, 10-race playoffs. The playoffs start in September. To meet all requirements for a possibility at a record-breaking eighth title, he either needs to win one of the last four races or be among the main 16 drivers in the standings. Although, he is right now in the eighteenth position.
