[autotag]John Hunter Nemechek[/autotag] will make the move to the No. 42 Cup car for Legacy Motor Club in 2024 and a familiar face will join him. Legacy Motor Club announced on Monday morning that [autotag]Ben Beshore[/autotag] will be Nemechek’s crew chief next year. Beshore and Nemechek were paired at Joe Gibbs Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series during the 2023 season.
This won’t be the first time that either party has been full-time in the Cup Series. Nemechek spent the 2020 season as the driver of the No. 38 car for Front Row Motorsports before moving down to the NASCAR Truck Series to rebuild his career with Toyota. As for Beshore, he was Kyle Busch’s crew chief in 2021 and 2022 before the driver left for Richard Childress Racing.

Overall, this is a great decision by Legacy Motor Club as the duo showed great promise in 2023. Nemechek went on to win seven Xfinity Series races but fell short of clinching the championship. Luke Lambert, the previous crew chief for the No. 42 car, could stay with the organization but his status is to be determined.
