Southern California NASCAR fans will be sending their farewell wishes to hometown hero and seven-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion Jimmie Johnson as he races his last Auto Club 400 on March 1st as a full-time NASCAR Driver.

“I am excited to go back and I am excited California is on the schedule. We can go home and celebrate,” said Jimmie Johnson.
The El Cajon native has won at Auto Club Speedway a record six times – the most of any driver all-time. His first NASCAR Cup Series Career win was at Auto Club Speedway in 2002 and most recent trip to Victory Lane at the track came in 2016 while driving a fitting “Superman” paint scheme. With over 25 starts at Auto Club Speedway, he has completed 100 percent of all laps run and has led 980 laps in the process. Johnson has 13 top-five finishes and 17 top-10s. In addition, he won his 48th Cup Series race in 2010.
At the conclusion of the 2019 season, Johnson announced with a heartfelt message on Twitter that 2020 would mark his final season racing full-time. The driver has spent his entire career at Hendrick Motorsports in the No. 48 Chevrolet, his home since 2001.
