[autotag]Legacy Motor Club[/autotag] may have a different driver lineup when the Daytona 500 arrives in February 2025. It was recently reported that Erik Jones is not under contract with Legacy Motor Club for the 2024 season. While the NASCAR team would likely want Jones to return, it’s not for certain. If he were to leave the No. 43 car, one rising Toyota prospect has been linked to the ride.
According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, Corey Heim would be a possibility for Legacy Motor Club if Jones moved on to another team next year. Heim is the reserve driver for 23XI Racing and Legacy Motor Club in the NASCAR Cup Series. The 21-year-old driver also runs full-time for TRICON Garage in the Truck Series and part-time for Sam Hunt, racing in the Xfinity Series.
Heim would be a good option for 23XI Racing, but it will come down to sponsorship and whether the team believes he is ready for the opportunity. Legacy Motor Club is rebuilding its race team after moving to Toyota, and Heim would be a great building block. It depends entirely on Jones’ decision, but Heim could drive for Jimmie Johnson in 2025.
