Now, he has entered the 2024 Cup Series season with just one goal, and that is to end his winless streak of the present 134 races that’s been haunting him since 2017. Jimmie Johnson is scheduled to run 8 more races this year. However, to add to his legacy, Johnson was finally inducted into the Daytona Beach-based Motor Sports Hall of Fame on Tuesday.

Reflecting on the moment, Jimmie Johnson provided his salutations, as he stated, “I’ve found that the NASCAR Hall of Fame was the first experience I had that took me so deep down memory lane. I had such an amazing time, visiting with old friends, writing my speech, reliving all these memories. But I’m also very excited for this one. It’s special.”
