Good move for them. Toyota needs depth and Legacy needs a shot in the arm.

Jimmie Johnson in a Toyota will be weird though.

Not a big suprise to me tbh. Definitely makes sense considering how bad they've been running this season so far.

Yeah Jimmie owning Toyotas is something that sticks out to me

 

[Fordracing28]

Yesss happy to hear.

 

[kkfan91]

It's an automatic bump up in pecking order too 3rd Toyota vs 4th or 5th Chevy.

My exact thoughts as well. Now the lack of performance this year is more understandable.

Something about the #43 being a Toyota just seems to go against all things nascar

Does it really though the King himself drove it as an Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Ford, Dodge, Chevy, Buick, and Pontiac. I get where that thought comes from but the 43 has never been just one thing.

Maybe they’ll get a special exemption to run the iconic number in the center of the door.

And mudflaps.

I consider them just as American as Dodge and Chrysler who are owned by Stellantis in Amsterdam

the 43 has run different manufactures before from Ford, to Dodge To Chevy and now Toyota.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Toyota also gets two young studs back in their stable in Jones and Gragson. This is a good move for them.

 

[RHRFan#1]

seems like a very smart move for Toyota.

Have wonder how this impacts JGR. There was a brief moment in time when Toyota was spread a little thinner and I feel MWR was actually better than JGR

Erik Jones sent the Preacher a menacing text saying, “I’m back.”

They are a JGR affiliate, so it's more like I got ya again.

Legacy is terrible and was getting worse. Who knows if this will be an improvement. When Petty was a part team owner, they went back and forth from manufacturer to manufacturer and it didn't make any difference. They have gone downhill since he left, so who the heck knows. I sure don't.

Petty may have had a lot of wins, but they were definitely known for chasing the dollar and loyalty didn't go far

Will Legacy go bankrupt in 2025 or 2026?

And that moment in time when Michael Waltrip failed to qualify 19 times in a single season … 13 of them consecutively.

I wonder if this is any part of the disagreement(s) earlier this year between JJ and Richard.

Highly doubt it. The Pettys were known for chasing a buck so if Toyota was offering more than Chevy I can't see why he'd object

Of course. Freaking awesome.

WE will always offer more than Chevy unless you are The Felon.

Of course. If WE signed Jesus, you would bitch about his hair and beard.

Says who?...Post #24.

Already bought a Legacy Motorclub hat and shirt. Let's go!!!!!!

Chevy isn't desperate for numbers.

Neither are WE....How long have WE been 6 cars? Duh.

Jimmie Johnson in a TRD powered Toyota Racing Camry TRD baby!!!!! Hell yes! Got to piss off the Chevy people just a bit which makes it that much better! Yahooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Over my entire career I never heard that. I know they had factory support when others didnt but that wasnt chasing a buck, it was brought on by them winning early.

The yoters didn't exactly pick up a powerhouse team bud, but freak freely. lol

The Preacher runs people out of business when they outperform him, which Toyota enables by putting all of their resources into the Preacher.

Kind of hard to expand under that model.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Seems like a lot of upside for both parties but Legacy have struggled organizationally for a while now, regardless of OEM. The personnel changes made over the offseason will have to come through for this partnership to maximize its potential. They will probably get much more support from TRD than they have elsewhere though.

Gibbs doesn't build anything anymore or very little. None of the teams have to with the new car, so Gibbs can't command a kings ransom for what he has. It should be an easy changeover.

Find a new narrative....

They can't even see The Felon and his Boys at the front of the Chevy line. Damn straight.

No ****. They become a powerhouse team now that they are with US.

Don't **** on the narrative with factual accounts. Ruins the flow.
