By most accounts, Jimmie Johnson is a first-ballot NASCAR Hall of Famer. He’s considered one of the Cup Series GOATs with 83 wins and seven championships. But a heated debate about Johnson’s eligibility for induction into the 2024 class has flared up since the former Hendrick Motorsports driver announced his return to racing for the 2023 season.

While it’s universally agreed he’ll be enshrined, the argument is about the timing. One contingent believes racing in the Cup Series, albeit on a part-time basis, takes away his retirement status, and resets the eligibility clock to two years. Others think it shouldn’t matter, that he’s met the requirements, and should be inducted next year as expected.
