Nascar’s Jimmie Johnson Former Antigo Resident?
I have heard this statement made on News Channel 7 a few times in the past. It is no secret that Jimmie Johnson used to race here in Antigo, before driving in Nascar. There is a comment that Jimmie made about the Cutlass motel, but, I didn’t think that staying in a motel would be considered residency?
This subject is touched upon in Channel 7′s Mike Jacques blog, which you can find here.
He also mentions the public comment that Jimmie made about the Cutlass, which you can find here. After doing some searching, there is no mention of Jimmie Johnson ever living in Antigo, only about his Cutlass stay.
I think it would be pretty cool to be able to say that Antigo was once the home of Jimmie Johnson, but, from the information found, I can’t say for certain that it is true. So, the question remains unanswered in my opinion.
