But our V-8 power is going to pull us down a straightaway like nothing else, so trying to race respectfully is the key.”
“Through my generation of racing, it's been much more focused on championships,” Johnson said. “The amount of work, time, energy, and dedication I put into those seven championships and 83 wins, with the schedule we were on, I don't know if I had the bandwidth or desire to drive much more. I'm at a point in life and career now where the championship grind is not of great interest to me, but trying to hit these marquee events is.
“But I had to remind myself why I was doing it. It was because as a kid, my dream was to be an IndyCar driver. I had a chance in front of me to do so, and I'd be foolish to not accept that and challenge myself. I really did a nice job of doing it for myself and no one else.”Johnson said IndyCar taught him new ways to approach a car, which gave him “a lot of confidence” in what he’s doing now.
