Johnson Plans Legacy Motor Club Expansion into IMSA

Jimmie Johnson, a seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, is considering expanding his Legacy Motor Club beyond NASCAR into the International Motorsports Association (IMSA), inspired by Justin Marks's Trackhouse Racing's diverse ventures. Despite Johnson's illustrious racing career, this expansion plan has been met with skepticism from fans, who argue that the team should first improve its performance in NASCAR, as it went winless in 2024 and failed to place its drivers in the top 25. Johnson announced his participation in the 2025 Daytona 500 and Coca-Cola 600, marking a continued presence in racing despite retiring from full-time competition in 2020. Legacy Motor Club, previously known as Petty GMS Motorsports, has a history of 20 Cup Series wins but struggled last season, prompting a rebranding initiative with a new logo. As the team gears up for its second year with Toyota, its performance and potential expansion will be closely watched.
