Legacy Motor Club releases several members from Jimmie Johnson’s team

Legacy Motor Club ’s first season with Toyota has slowly improved despite a rough stance in the point standings. Erik Jones sits 27th, while John Hunter Nemechek ranks 31st with four races left in the regular season. Jimmie Johnson has also run a third car for the NASCAR team; however, the No. 84 team was surprised by key departures.

According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, Legacy Motor Club released members for the No. 84 team during the Olympic break , including crew chief Jason Burdett. This is a surprising decision as Johnson has three races left in 2024 at Kansas Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Phoenix Raceway. Johnson will still run those three races this season.

The 2025 NASCAR season is more uncertain, but if Johnson wants to race in a third car, it would be reasonable to suggest that it will occur. As for the rest of 2024, Johnson’s crew chief is to be determined, along with the rest of the positions that need to be filled. Legacy Motor Club has given no reason for these moves, but it must adjust to provide Johnson with a team for 2024.
