Legacy Motor Club Elevates Justin Alexander to Erik Jones’ Crew Chief in 2026 Restructure

The team presents the moves as a push to turn last year's gains into stronger results ahead of the Feb. 1 season opener.

Overview

  • Alexander takes over the No. 43 Toyota Camry XSE effective immediately, replacing Ben Beshore atop Erik Jones’ pit box.
  • Ben Beshore remains with the organization as Director of Race Engineering, centralizing performance development for the program.
  • Chief Financial Officer Scott Roggenbauer has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer, drawing on prior stints at Haas F1 and ABC Technologies.
  • Alexander brings 11 years at Richard Childress Racing and five NASCAR Cup Series wins with Austin Dillon, experience team leaders say should pair well with Jones.
  • Jones finished 2025 ranked 24th with four top-fives and five top-10s, and the team targets further progress as the 2026 campaign begins with the Cook Out Clash on Feb. 1 at Bowman Gray Stadium.
