This weekend seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson will make his IndyCar debut during this Sunday’s Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama. Johnson retired from NASCAR after the 2020 season and will race a limited schedule that will not include ovals.

Johnson is also driving in the DPi class in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup for Cadillac. His team, along with Simon Pagenaud and Kamui Mobayashi, finished second at the Rolex 24 At Daytona and Johnson will run this season’s remaining endurance racing schedule.

Johnson is one of many NASCAR drivers that have jumped behind the wheel in America’s most prominent open wheel racing series. The following slideshow highlights that double duty.
