Being the owner of the NASCAR team has never been a walk in the park, and the owner of the heritage Jimmie Johnson knows it. In an episode of Never settle Podcast, the seven times champion of the cut series, said that a team owner had to stay outside of their comfort zone to ensure growth.
Johnson, a Nascar Hall of Famer, has the majority participation in Legacy Motor Club, which works full time in the Nascar Cup series. Based in Statesville, in North Carolina, Legacy Motor Club is currently organizing two full -time entries, John Hunter Nemechek No. 42 and No. 43 for Erik Jones.
It may be sure to say that LMC’s journey in recent seasons has been quite bumpy. The team has not won for years and has always missed the playoffs. On this note, Jimmie Johnson said:
“Then, now, in a way, we try to create the culture that Jimmie Johnson wants and a culture I want in this building. There is a different form of pride that grows and the satisfaction that grows in it.”
Johnson saw 2025 as everything to believe in the culture of the team, responsibility and difficult conversations.
“We have to make it comfortable and say uncomfortable things … It is not that it is personal. It will develop the individual, it will develop the business. So let’s go uncomfortable in these moments,” he added.
The next Legacy Motor Club event is Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. The 350 laps event is scheduled for Sunday, August 3. Fans can watch the race live on the American network (3:30 p.m. HE) or listen to exclusive radio updates on MRN and Nascar Siriusxm radio.
Jimmie Johnson has all lent to relive a dream since he was 4 years old
Jimmie Johnson had the opportunity to sit on the bridge of the Blue Blaster, which happens to be one of the most legendary hydroplanes of all time. But he was only four years old at the time.
Johnson, now 49 years old, recently won a turn on his favorite boat as part of his enthronement in 2024 in the temple of renown of American motorsport. According to reports, the former veteran of the Cup series will take the Blue Blaster of Atlas Van Lines for a tour on Lake Washington during the Seattle Sea this weekend.
“In 1979, I sat in the back of the Blue Blaster at the age of the wide eyes. I never forgot that day,” Johnson wrote in a statement. “On Friday), I will finally do it for a tour and honor the inheritance of Bill Munncey (owner of the Blue Blaster).”
“Recognizing the Mancey family and the Hydroplane museum for helping to give life to this,” he added.
As things arise, Johnson’s effort will be an important highlight for the H1 Unlimited series while Hydroplane Seafair approaches their 75th race.
