Jimmie Johnson: Scared away NASCAR drivers from IndyCar

Andrew Kurland sits down for an exclusive interview with @JimmieJohnson ahead of his first fulltime IndyCar season. Jimmie divulges if any of his NASCAR friends have expressed interest in coming over to IndyCar.

Jimmie is more respected now then he was say... 4-5 years ago. His move to IndyCar was historic and for what it's worth? He's done what he should so far. I'd love to see more progress made by him

[bkbaughn]

Nothing but respect for JJ. Didn't care much for him even when he was dominating Nascar. However now I really respect him and hope to see him find at least some kind of success on the road courses moving forward.

Props to Jimmie for giving it a go... His humble honest answers are rare treat. No matter what as an IndyCar fan I'm glad he took a huge leap.

[mountcomfort]

So much respect for what Jimmy is doing and how he is doing it

[RRaquello]

If things were in IndyCar the way they should be, Ryan Blaney's dad would have been a star at the Indianapolis 500. IndyCar shut its doors to the Dave Blaneys and all their fans. Said they weren't wanted.

I wish NASCAR drivers did the double again. Kurt Busch was last one in 2014. Sure he gave jimmie a lot of advice

[petemitchell]

I predict a career ending day for Mr. 7x.

[monteharwell]

Leroy Yarbrough wasn't scared and he did it on several Falstaffs...monte

[mgers]

kudos to jj for being not worried about his legacy or eating some humble pie to try racing Indycar. You'll never see Lewis Hamilton race another series when he's done with F1. It would be cool to see him try NASCAR or the Indy 500 but he'd never be willing to put his legacy on the line like that

[jeffyoder]

Hey 😌😂 y'all it's me Jeff yoder the ol'broke down scooter tramp (ex-biker) and for those who don't know Honda is sort of the" Chevy", or"Ford" of Indy cars and a stepping stone type motor fror moving up to f-1 and other international racing series

[gregdaugherty]

oh yeah class act just ask him how many times Chad kanaus got caught for cheating

[joesmithguide]

Hey let’s take a guy who has run mostly ovals and put him in a Indy car and make him run the road courses and not the oval tracks. That is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. He is terrible at driving an Indy car and is destroying his legacy.

[clemzahrobsky]

how come all those years with chevy why now honda ??

[GeoffGroves]

Jimmy gets my vote for "Most Overrated Driver Ever". Of course that was only opinion until IndyCar proved it.
