Jimmie Johnson Reshapes Legacy Motor Club as He Balances Ownership and Racing

The seven-time NASCAR champion takes on a larger leadership role at Legacy Motor Club while scaling back his racing career to focus on team growth.

Jimmie Johnson has become the majority owner of Legacy Motor Club following an offseason restructuring that brought in private equity firm Knighthead Capital Management.
Johnson will compete in only two races this season, including the Daytona 500, as he transitions his focus to managing the team's operations and growth.
Legacy Motor Club has struggled competitively since Johnson's involvement, with no wins and a limited number of top-five and top-10 finishes over the past two seasons.
The team's move to Toyota has sparked questions about resource allocation, as powerhouse teams like Joe Gibbs Racing remain Toyota's priority, leaving Legacy to navigate challenges independently.
NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal partnered with Johnson to design a special paint scheme for the No. 84 Toyota, bringing added attention to Johnson's Daytona 500 appearance.
