Jimmie Johnson joins TRICON Garage for the San Diego Truck Series race

TRICON Garage (TRICON) announced today that NASCAR Hall of Famer and seven-time Cup Series (NCS) champion Jimmie Johnson will return to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) for its inaugural race at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego, California.

This appearance will be Johnson’s first in the Truck Series since 2008 and is part of the broader NASCAR San Diego weekend. Carvana will support Johnson throughout the weekend, including his planned Cup Series start with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB and as the primary partner for Friday’s Truck Series entry with TRICON. Carvana, a leading e-commerce platform for buying and selling cars, has been a longtime partner of Johnson and LEGACY MOTOR CLUB.

The Southern California native will compete in his hometown race, driving the No. 1 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, TRICON’s “all-star” entry for NASCAR’s challenging 16-turn, 3.4-mile street circuit along the Coronado waterfront.

“Racing in San Diego means everything to me – it’s home,” said Johnson. “Getting behind the wheel of a Truck Series entry has been on my mind for a while. The competition is incredible, and doing it at a historic street race on a Navy base in my hometown? That’s special. I’m grateful to TRICON and Carvana for making this happen, and honestly, I can’t think of a better way to honor our military and celebrate where I’m from.”

Johnson, who has won 83 NCS races, will also attempt to compete in both events during NASCAR's San Diego weekend. He will take part in Sunday’s Cup Series activities, driving the No. 84 Carvana Toyota Camry XSE for LEGACY MOTOR CLUB.
