Amidst NASCAR’s gloomy off-season, Legacy Motor Club officials including two of the sport’s most decorated drivers – Jimmie Johnson and Richard “The King ” Petty conveyed their Thanksgiving wishes to fans. After a rather tumultuous year involving a major partnership change, JJ & Co are all set for the celebrations as they wish their fans a prosperous Thanksgiving.

The team’s official Instagram handle posted the short clip where the ‘Superman’ joined in from London while his new #42 driver also joined the team to relay messages.

Amidst the team’s underwhelming season that saw a major shift with LMC going to Toyota leaving Johnson’s longtime partner and manufacturer that earned him multiple titles, Chevrolet, the 7-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson and his crew did not forget to give one back to the community in the form of a wholesome wish.

Besides Erik Jones who finished the season 27th with just 1 top-5 finish, the team hasn’t done anything significant this season. This along with rookie sensation Noah Gragson’s infamous termination from the team prompted officials to look for a worthy replacement which they found in Xfinity Series sensation, John Hunter Nemechek.

The 26-year-old also joined his boss and teammate to convey his wishes. Johnson who was seen cycling in Hyde Park, London said, “Greeting from London, Hyde Park. Just want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have the best time with family and friends and have an awesome celebration.” LMC team ambassador, Petty also joined in, wishing, “Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for your support”, while Jones, a Michigan native was spotted supporting the Detroit Lions when he shared the message.
