Matt Kenseth joins Legacy Motor Club as a Competition Advisor

Legacy Motor Club announced on Tuesday morning that Matt Kenseth will join the team as a Competition Advisor effective immediately.

[autotag]Legacy Motor Club[/autotag] has made big moves over the last 365 days after Jimmie Johnson became a minority owner and John Hunter Nemechek was announced as the next driver of the No. 42 car. However, another major announcement took place on Tuesday afternoon that really surprised the NASCAR world.

The organization announced that NASCAR Hall-of-Fame member [autotag]Matt Kenseth[/autotag] will join the team as a Competition Advisor effective immediately. Kenseth was the 2004 NASCAR Cup Series champion and drove for Toyota near the end of his career. The former driver will provide guidance and strategy on the competition side.

Kenseth will also help mentor Nemechek and Erik Jones as Legacy Motor Club transitions to Toyota. Overall, this is a brilliant move for the organization as he and Johnson are now a part of the club. Kenseth should be a great mentor and addition to Legacy Motor Club, and it will be interesting to see how the team grows in the coming years.
