[autotag]Jimmie Johnson[/autotag] will compete in the 2024 Daytona 500 for the second straight season as a co-owner of Legacy Motor Club. In fact, Johnson has officially set his nine-race schedule for the 2024 NASCAR season after competing in three races last year. Now, the seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion has a paint scheme for the sport’s biggest event.
On Thursday morning, Carvana Racing revealed Johnson’s paint scheme for the 2024 Daytona 500, celebrating the Petty family’s 75th anniversary in NASCAR. Johnson will run a paint scheme that resembles Richard Petty’s famous 1964 Plymouth. It has a blue base with a white number and lettering for Carvana.
We’re thrilled to present Carvana’s 2024 Daytona 500 paint scheme. We partnered with @JimmieJohnson to celebrate the Petty family’s 75th anniversary in NASCAR with a paint scheme that pays tribute to “The King” Richard Petty’s iconic 1964 Plymouth.

Johnson will be competing in an open entry, so if he wants to make the 2024 Daytona 500, he will either need to qualify on speed or during the qualifying duels on Thursday night. Either way, the new NASCAR Hall-of-Fame member will pay tribute to the Petty family as “The King” shares the mantle of seven championships with him and Dale Earnhardt Sr.
