When the returning NASCAR Legend Jimmie Johnson locked himself into the 2025 Daytona 500 on pure speed, it was a moment of relief for the seven-time champion. The post Jimmie Johnson Sympathizes with Legacy MC's star after Daytona Heartbreak appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Legacy this season will field two full-time cars, the No. 43 Toyota for Erik Jones — two top-fives in two seasons with the team and a finish of 28th in the Cup Series standings — and the No. 42 Toyota for John Hunter Nemechek. Neither driver made the playoffs.

Johnson won 83 NASCAR races and a record-equaling seven season championships during 19 seasons as a full-time NASCAR driver. Since he last competed as a regular in 2020, Johnson spent two seasons driving on the IndyCar tour before becoming part of the Legacy Motor Club ownership team in 2023.
