Legacy Motor Club parts ways with John Hunter Nemechek for 2027

usatoday.com

Legacy Motor Club, the NASCAR team co-owned by Jimmie Johnson, announced Wednesday that John Hunter Nemechek will not return to drive the No. 42 Toyota in 2027, leaving an open seat for next season. The decision is surprising given the team announced sponsors for Nemechek’s 2027 season in May. Nemechek, 29, is in his third year with Legacy and has no Cup Series wins in 139 races, with two top-10 finishes this season. Nemechek’s future is unclear, while Legacy may consider Josh Berry, who is leaving Wood Brothers after a career-best streak of five consecutive top-10 finishes. The team also plans to expand to three cars in 2027.
