“I’m working on a few projects to kind of document all of this that’s going on. Just because it is an interesting perspective and many are kind of going through that stuff,” Johnson said during a chat with another former IndyCar plus NASCAR driver, Danica Patrick.
Docu-series on the cards, no ‘autobiographies’ from Jimmie Johnson
Johnson informed he and his team have been recording content for almost 18 months now, as soon as he had a good idea of the transition he was about to make.
“Working on a docu-series and I have another picture book that we’re putting together. And working on how to document that as well,” he further revealed.
The former Hendrick Motorsports driver also admitted that many people have urged him to write a book or an ‘autobiography’ of his experiences so far. However, that does not seem to be happening anytime soon.
“Really not into books. I’ve had a ton of pressure to write a book, an autobiography, or something. I’m really not there yet. I’d rather do it through images or video at this point,” Johnson said further.
