Jimmie Johnson suffered during the third restart incident of the day, a crash caused by Carson Hocevar. Joey Logano faced the consequences as he got caught in the crossfire, taking him out of the race. As of late, Johnson is not living up to the name of being a seven-time Cup series champion, as his last win was back in 2017 when he came in 10th in the overall season. Ever since then, Johnson has not been able to find his mojo.

This performance is far from the seven-time Cup champion that NASCAR knows, and fans are taking to X to talk about it. When Bob Pockrass shared the news of the two getting a caution, fans flooded the comments section to mostly conclude that it would be better if Jimmie Johnson called it a day now.

The accident on Lap 109 that involved Jimmie Johnson and Joey Logano led to both the drivers having to retire from the race. The crash started as a chain reaction to Carson Hocevar making contact with Ryan Blaney, which ultimately swept out Logano and Johnson.

Jimmie Johnson, who was making a strong comeback from a 33rd-place start, was hit from behind and collided with the wall. Overall, the crash not only ended Johnson’s and Logano’s races prematurely but also affected their standings and strategies for the remainder of the season.

With such an incident taking place at an important race like Indianapolis, fans have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to suggest that Jimmie Johnson should step down from NASCAR and focus elsewhere. No one enjoys watching a 7-time champion finish at the back of the grid and that’s what the fans are making clear on X.

Fans want Jimmie Johnson to drop out of the sport

“Hang it up, Jimmie, for gods sake, “said one fan who is not happy with how the iconic driver has been performing this season. Fans expect more from a 7x Cup series champion, and looking at his current situation, many believe that he is better off not driving for the team.

The sentiment was confirmed in the following comments, with more people joining in the bandwagon of asking Johnson to call it quits. One comment went ahead to state, “Jimmie really needs to put the helmet down, man.”

The way Johnson has been driving recently has many veteran fans believing that he needs to quit the game, a poor performance is not expected from someone who has been one of the most well-known drivers in the sport. “Bro needs to hang it up,” echoed another fan who wanted to see Johnson retire before he continues to drive difficult seasons.

Knowing that Johnson has retired from the full-time driving position at Hendrick Motorsport, one fan said, “Wish Jimmie would stay retired.”

“Jimmie Johnson is f***ing cursed,” said this one fan who does not like the difference in the icon’s performance. Johnson has joined the grid only as a part-timer and it’s getting more clear that his decision of not driving full-time might just be a good one.
