Jimmie Johnson withdraws from NASCAR Cup Seris after In-Laws found dead
Jimmie Johnson has withdrawn from the Chicago Street Race next week following a family tragedy. He was scheduled to drive the No. 84 Legacy Motor Club Chevrolet in the first race, marking his fourth Cup start of the year.
He competed in the Coke 600, COTA, and Daytona 500 to start the season. Jimmie competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans earlier this month as a member of the Garage 56 NASCAR team.
Following news of a horrific incident affecting Chandra Janway, Jimmie's wife, the decision to withdraw from the Chicago race was made. The police have reported that Janway's parents Jack and Terry Janway, as well as her 11-year-old nephew Dalton, were all killed in what they believe to be a murder-suicide.
Legacy Motor released a statement asking the fans for some privacy during such a difficult time.
