[autotag]Legacy Motor Club[/autotag] has undergone several significant changes over the last few seasons. The organization used to be called “Richard Petty Motorsports” before moving to “Petty GMS Motorsports.” Then, Jimmie Johnson joined the ownership group, and it became “Legacy Motor Club.” Now, another change could come after a move to Toyota starting in 2024.
According to Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern, Legacy Motor Club is one of four teams that are said to be interested in expanding in the Cup Series, with Stewart-Haas Racing’s future in doubt. Currently, the organization fields Erik Jones and John Hunter Nemechek as full-time drivers with a third, part-time entry for Johnson’s events.
People may be surprised to see that Legacy Motor Club is interested in expansion, but it makes sense after its move to Toyota. First, the NASCAR organization must focus on having Jones and Nemechek run well weekly. Then, Legacy Motor Club might become a hot suitor for a charter as Stewart-Haas Racing could be selling.
