Johnson laments disrespect era as he returns to NASCAR Trucks after 17 years

Jimmie Johnson, 50, returned to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in San Diego after 17 years, qualifying up front and briefly leading before mid-race spins and a mechanical issue dropped him to 30th. He illustrated a perceived shift in racecraft, calling out a lack of respect and attributing it to a generational change, while acknowledging that chaos can drive viewership. Johnson is also set for the Cup race on Sunday and plans the 2027 Daytona 500 as his final top-level NASCAR start.

Larson, who qualified fifth for the Indy 500, will use a combination of helicopter and plane to travel between the two events.
