NASCAR: Johnson will definitely race a Toyota

Seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson’s co-owned Legacy Motor Club Cup team will switch from Chevrolet to Toyota at the end of this season.

Besides being a team co-owner, Johnson will also race a Toyota according to Toyota Racing Development president David Wilson. Wilson made the comment Tuesday on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio’s “The Morning Drive.”

“100 percent. Yes, you will see him [Johnson] in a Toyota,” Wilson said. “That will be very moving and emotional for me personally, professionally, for Toyota. Now, I’ll let Jimmie fill in the blank, but I will just say that Jimmie Johnson will be racing a Toyota Camry before he is done as a race car driver.”

Johnson had raced exclusively with Chevrolet since making his NASCAR national series debut in the Xfinity Series in 1998.
