BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) Fresh off another championship – and with three more victories already this season – Jimmie Johnson is showing no signs of slowing down.
Now, he’s ready for at least three more years of racing. Beyond that, Johnson is leaving his options open.
Johnson agreed to a three-year contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports through 2020. Hendrick announced the deal with the seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Friday.
”I’ve said it before and continued to say that when the fire does go out, I will step down,” said Johnson, who is preparing for this weekend’s race at Michigan International Speedway.
