Eric Johnson Jr. (born February 17, 2003) is an American professional stock car racing driver who currently competes full-time in the ARCA Menards Series West, and part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 5 Toyota Camry for Jerry Pitts Racing.
Racing career
[edit]Johnson began his racing career in 2019 at the age of 16, competing at short tracks across the Pacific Northwest in various stock car divisions. After achieving early success, Johnson began preparing and maintaining his family-owned Late Model race cars in the Johnson family’s personal garage. He documented much of the process on his YouTube channel.[citation needed]
On December 30, 2022, it was announced that Johnson would run part-time in the ARCA Menards Series West, driving the No. 19 Chevrolet for Bill McAnally Racing, having previously being a crew member and spotter for drivers like Derek Kraus, Jesse Love, and Cole Moore.[1][2] Uniquely compared to most professional drivers, he had prepared his own cars prior to his ARCA Series West races alongside his crew chief, Chuck Jones. In his next race at Sonoma Raceway, he would start eighteenth but would go on to finish 27th due to transmission issues halfway through the race.[3] He would return at Evergreen Speedway, this time running in a Toyota, where he would start fourteenth and finish eleventh,[4] and would run the next race at All American Speedway, where he would start eleventh and finish in ninth place.[5]
In January 2024, it was announced that Johnson would compete full-time in the ARCA Menards Series West, driving the No. 19 for Bill McAnally Racing.[6] He finished sixth in the championship standings and earned ARCA Menards Series West Rookie of the Year honors, the highest finishing position among rookies.[7][8]
In December 2024, Johnson signed with Jerry Pitts Racing to drive the No. 5 Toyota Camry full-time in the 2025 ARCA Menards Series West season [9]. During the season, he recorded a career-best second-place finish at Tucson Speedway [10] in a three-wide finish. Johnson finished fourth in the final drivers’ championship standings, recording nine top-ten finishes and six top-five finishes in 12 races.
In December 2025, it was announced that Johnson would return to Jerry Pitts Racing for the 2026 season.[11] Alongside his NASCAR competition, Johnson posted publicly that he plans to continue to compete in various racing divisions across the West Coast, specifically in his new US Legend Car.[citation needed]
