INDIANAPOLIS (May 22, 2019) – Clauson-Marshall Racing and Driven2SaveLives are proud to announce that a “Forever 41 Cajun” decal will be prominently displayed on the #39 Driven2SaveLives Clauson-Marshall Racing Chevrolet for the 2019 Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge. The decal honors World of Outlaws Sprint Car Driver Jason Johnson who died in a racing accident in 2018 and saved and healed lives as an organ donor.
Tim Clauson stated, “We are honored to have Jason Johnson, a donor hero, ride with us. Jason was a friend and partner. He was a person who shared his experience in his life to help us navigate the path we were on. Jason was an organ donor and a hero not only for his on-track persona but also for his lifesaving decision. #Forever41Cajun will always be in our hearts and we are proud to have him along for this ride.”
Originally from Eunice, Louisiana, Johnson was known throughout the racing community as “Ragin’ Cajun” and the “Cajun Sensation.” He is survived by his wife, Bobbi, and their son, Jaxx, along with his parents Craig and Debra Johnson. During his career, Johnson recorded 256 victories in stock cars, mini sprints, outlaw winged modifieds; 360 sprint cars; and 410 sprint cars in the US and Australia. He and his wife, Bobbi, established Jason Johnson Racing in 2010, which continues to this day.
Bobbi Johnson stated, “We are so honored and grateful that Clauson-Marshall Racing, Tim Clauson and Richard and Jennifer Marshall, have chosen to honor Jason on their #39 entry in this year’s Indianapolis 500. We truly are speechless. Jason was so proud when Bryan Clauson raced in the Indy 500 and now both are heroes forever not only because of their on-track prowess, but because of their personal decision as they chose to donate their organs to make the lives of others better in their absence.”
