FILE - In this Jan. 23, 2021 file photo, Jimmie Johnson interacts with crew members in his garage during a practice session for the Rolex 24 hour auto race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. When a pair of poor finishes cost Alex Palou the IndyCar points lead, the second-year driver found teammate Jimmie Johnson for a pair of pep talks. Johnson may be an IndyCar rookie on the track, but the intangibles he brings to Chip Ganassi Racing as a seven-time NASCAR champion are invaluable. (AP Photo/John Raoux, File)
