Jimmie Johnson Criticizes Modern NASCAR

Jimmie Johnson, the 7-time Cup Series champion, criticized modern NASCAR, saying respect is 'completely out the window'.

Jimmie Johnson noticed a downturn in driving standards during Friday's NASCAR Truck Series race at Naval Base Coronado.

He recalled his early days in the sport, when drivers would respect each other on the track.

Johnson said that when he started racing, it was common for drivers to be pointed by and have their butt chewed by more experienced drivers.

He learned to be respectful and work together with other drivers.

But now, Johnson says that's 'completely out the window'.

Johnson thinks stage racing and car performance have contributed to the lack of respect among drivers.

He believes that drivers can defend more easily, leading to a lack of cooperation on the track.

Jimmie Johnson is a 50-year-old NASCAR Hall of Famer who has seen the sport change over the years.

He has experienced the era of pointing people by and has been chewed out by numerous Cup guys.

Johnson said that when he was going forward and had a chance to pass, other drivers could make life tough on him.

But if he was respectful, they would work together.

That's not the case anymore, according to Johnson.

The NASCAR Truck Series race at Naval Base Coronado was held on Friday.

Johnson participated in the race and noticed the lack of respect among drivers.

He shared his thoughts on the current state of NASCAR, citing a lack of driving standards and etiquette.

Johnson's comments come as the NASCAR Cup Series continues its season.

The next race is the Toyota / Save Mart 350 on June 28.

Johnson's criticism of modern NASCAR has sparked a conversation about the sport's current state.

He is not alone in his thoughts, as other drivers and fans have also expressed concerns about the lack of respect on the track.

As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Johnson's comments affect the sport.

The NASCAR Cup Series will continue to feature talented drivers competing at high speeds.

But according to Johnson, something is missing - respect.
