Jimmie Johnson to miss Brickyard 400 | Hendrick Motorsports

wow this'll be the first cup race I've watched without him in the field. hope he recovers soon and comes back strong as ever. I bet he's glad he's been so proactive with his health because that probably is a huge reason why he hasn't been hit hard by it
also he's gonna miss that indy test

This is a major development and significant news story. Why was the thread folded back in to the catch-all pre-race chatter thread?

Why?

If you're going to ask that, you might as well ask why the Gragson speculation isn't in the 2021 Silly Season thread while you're at it.
EDIT: Looks like SOI is going to try again.

Seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson tests positive for COVID-19, will miss Sunday's Brickyard 400
Jimmie Johnson is the first driver in NASCAR to test positive, and the news cast a shadow over this weekend's NASCAR-IndyCar doubleheader races .
www.usatoday.com
Johnson has made 663 conscutive Cup Series starts – the longest streak among active drivers – and is currently 12th in the standings, 63 points inside the playoff picture. NASCAR’s rules state a driver must be symptom free and have two negative coronavirus tests in a 24-hour span to return.
NASCAR said it has granted Johnson a playoff waiver.
“Jimmie is a true battle-tested champion, and we wish him well in his recovery,” the series said.
Johnson could potentially also miss the Cup race at Kentucky and the All-Star race at Bristol. Next week’s test of the road course at Indy in Scott Dixon’s car has also been scrapped.

That's kinda been the point the medical experts have been trying to get across.

I hope he doesn't turn the car around and into the infield he'll have been running for the last two days.

Horrible, hope him and his is family get better quickly. The only good thing is that Jimmie is one of the fittest guys out there so that should help him beat this quickly.

Did I get all of the posts about Jimmie?
Hang out with folks and get C19.
Chances are it’s gonna happen.
What’s not known is how it will affect you.

His wife didn’t do something right. I hope they both remain with little to no symptoms.

Jimmie deserves a lot of respect if he chose to go get the test ,even with no symptoms, knowing that he'd have to miss at least one race for a positive test. It would have been real easy to just keep quiet and go race Sunday .

agreed.
Easily could’ve said nothing and risked getting people sick. But he did the right thing.
Ify was broke, working fast food, he mighta tried to hide it and stay at work.
He’ll be ok.

1.) He's running fairly well but still just short of winning a race or two, and passing DW.
2.) He's probably gonna miss a bunch of races, not just this.

Best of luck to Jimmie and Chandra and their kids. The fact that he is in good physical condition does not insure that he will remain without symptoms. It's too soon to know that. But it is a positive factor in his overall prognosis for sure.
SMH at the people suggesting Jimmie or anyone might conceal this and just go around infecting everyone with impunity. C'mon guys, it ain't a hoax.
