🏁 Tommy Johnson Jr. spent more than three decades behind the wheel, winning races across six countries and becoming one of drag racing's most respected drivers.

Today, he's behind a microphone with IHRA, but don't mistake that for retirement. Johnson admits he misses racing "on a scale of 1 to 10, I'm at a 12," and he's still chasing one last accomplishment before he's done.

From Funny Car wins to broadcast booths, TJ reflects on a career that's taken him around the world — and why he believes drag racing's future is brighter with more opportunities for everyone.

For those that don’t know, Memorial Day is a U.S. federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May, dedicated to honoring and remembering the men and women who died while serving in the military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it began after the Civil War to commemorate Union and Confederate soldiers who lost their lives. Today, it serves as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by military personnel in all wars. While Veterans Day celebrates all who have served, Memorial Day specifically honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Let us never forget! 🏁🇺🇸🏁

This Memorial Day, we invite you to visit the Evansville Wartime Museum as we honor and remember the men and women who served our country. 🇺🇸

We will be OPEN on Memorial Day and hope you will spend part of the holiday reflecting on the sacrifices made by generations of service members. Our exhibits help preserve and share the stories of those who answered the call to serve. 🪖

Memorial Day is more than the start of summer, it is a time to remember, honor, and learn. We look forward to welcoming you. ❤️🤍💙
