.JimmieJohnson is a busy man as he takes up an ownership role at PettyGMS (now Legacy M.C.) and returns to NASCAR Cup competition part-time, but he still has aspirations to drive the Garage 56 NASCAR entry at Le Mans:

Garage 56 is the entry that the Automobile Club de l'Ouest sets aside for the “technology of tomorrow and beyond” of innovative machinery.

“It is without a doubt on my radar,” Johnson told Motorsport.com. “I’ve been able to help develop the car, drive it and I’ve had an amazing experience doing so. I’m still eagerly awaiting my formal invite/contract.#48 Action Express Racing Cadillac DPi: Jimmie JohnsonSports-car veteran Mike Rockenfeller, a former Le Mans overall winner, tested the Hendrick-built car at Virginia International Raceway in November. Johnson tested the car last month at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, S.C.

The project was first announced last March as an homage to NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., who first took stock cars to the French stock car classic almost half a century ago.“I think it’s a brilliant idea and kudos to Jim France for having this vision and the effort he’s put in to bringing this to life over the last few years,” Johnson said.
