Jimmie Johnson and Legacy Motor Club enjoyed their best overall performance since the Hall of Famer became the team's majority owner.

Johnson won 83 NASCAR races and a record-equaling seven season championships during 19 seasons as a full-time NASCAR driver. Since he last competed as a regular in 2020, Johnson spent two seasons driving on the IndyCar tour before becoming part of the Legacy Motor Club ownership team in 2023.

Jimmie Johnson finishes third in the Daytona 500 as all three Legacy Motor Club cars finish inside the top 12 for the best showing in team history. It all started Thursday in Duel #2 as Erik Jones beat Austin Cindric to the line. However, a caution was called prior to the finish line, and Cindric was awarded the win instead.
