After making a name for himself in off-road competition, Johnson made his debut in NASCAR competition in 2005, competing in two events in the Craftsman Truck Series for KW Racing with a best finish of 25th. Johnson made his debut in the Nationwide Series in 2008; between 2008 and 2010, he drove in four Nationwide Series events for Fitz Motorsports, SK Motorsports, and NEMCO Motorsports, posting a best finish of 31st. Johnson also competed in the Camping World East Series for Trail Motorsports in 2009, competing in seven races before the team folded due to lack of sponsorship.
After being unable to find a full-time NASCAR ride, Johnson returned to off-road racing in 2012. Competing in the Traxxas TORC Series Pro-2 class in 2013, he was named the series' Rookie of the Year. The series was renamed as TORC: The Off-Road Championship. He continued in the Pro 2 class and finished sixth in the 2014 points.
