Jimmie Johnson adds 3 races to 2024 NASCAR schedule
In announcing a sponsorship deal with Dollar Tree Inc., Legacy Motor Club revealed three more NASCAR races for Jimmie Johnson in 2024.
Johnson will drive a Dollar Tree/Family Dollar-branded No. 84 Toyota in the NASCAR Cup Series at Dover in April, Kansas in September and Las Vegas in October.
Already, the Club announced Johnson would race at Texas in April and Kansas in May, as well as the Coca-Cola 600 in May, with sponsorship from AdventHealth.
“What an exciting time for LEGACY M.C. to team up with Dollar Tree and Family Dollar,” Johnson said. “We look forward to creating extensive visibility for these two iconic and beloved brands where we have so many fans in common.”
Johnson, a seven-time Cup Series champion, stepped away from full-time competition after 2020. In 2023, he entered three races – the Daytona 500, COTA and the Coke 600 – before a family emergency cut his season short.
The seven-time champion has been on the entry list for 689 NASCAR Cup Series races but the 2024 Daytona 500 will mark the first Cup Series where he will not enter in a Chevrolet as the Club is switching to Toyota for the new season.
