How Legacy Motor Club Has Had the Strongest Off Season for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series
As the engines rev up for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series, one team is silently stealing the limelight. Legacy Motor Club, co-owned by Jimmie Johnson, is gearing up to leave a mark on the tracks.
Legacy Motor Club has assembled a formidable team this off-season. They've roped in Trevor Bayne, the 2011 Daytona 500 winner, as Competition Advisor, and Corey Heim, the 2023 Truck Series champion, as a simulator and reserve driver.
A Strategic Switch
The team is switching from Chevrolet to Toyota, aligning with the powerhouses of Joe Gibbs Racing and 23XI. Jimmie Johnson, bidding farewell to Chevy after three decades, stated, "...It’s been a fun period of time to get to know them and really understand their passion and how much our core values truly align."
Securing a Major Sponsorship
Dollar Tree, a Fortune 500 company, has signed a significant team sponsorship deal with Legacy Motor Club for the 38-race season. This rare three-year agreement could be worth around $10 million annually, marking a promising start to their partnership.
