As a two-time winner of the Daytona 500 and a four-time winner of the Coca-Cola 600, these races hold a special place in Johnson’s heart. The Daytona 500, in particular, is considered a crown jewel of NASCAR, and Johnson’s history at Charlotte Motor Speedway adds a sentimental touch to his return to the track.
“I’m so thrilled to be back behind the wheel for these races,” Johnson shared. “The energy and excitement surrounding the Daytona 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 are unmatched. It’s always an honor to compete in these iconic events.”
