Jimmie Johnson's Final NASCAR Cup Race: 2027 Daytona 500 Will Be His Last

Jimmie Johnson — a seven-time NASCAR champion and two-time Daytona 500 winner — says his final Cup race will be the 2027 Daytona 500.
He’s shifting focus to team ownership as majority owner of Legacy Motor Club, which is expanding (adding a third charter next year).
Johnson will only run select events (this year’s Daytona 500 and the San Diego street race), has ended his INDYCAR pursuit, and won’t race in Cup after 2027.

GM took a $1.1 billion charge and restructured its China joint venture to cut costs and pivot toward higher‑end models and premium EVs (Buick, Cadillac and some Chevrolet imports).
NEV momentum is real: nearly 1 million new‑energy vehicles sold in China last year (over half of GM’s China sales), with NEV sales up 22.6% in 2025; all 2026 China launches will include NEV options and more local production.
China may not become a second profit pillar for Detroit, but it’s crucial for scale and EV tech — succeeding there helps GM prepare for competition from advanced, affordable Chinese automakers.

The high-profile disappearance of Nancy Guthrie — Savannah Guthrie’s mother — has mobilized hundreds of agents, a 24-hour command post, thousands of tips and a $100,000 FBI reward, showing how celebrity can focus resources and attention.
Families of everyday missing people, like Tonya Miller searching for her mother in Missouri, say they often get little help and must organize searches, fundraisers and press officials themselves.
Most missing-person reports are runaways and stranger abductions are rare, but Black and Indigenous people are disproportionately listed as abducted, underscoring systemic gaps in response and resources.
