Jimmie Johnson and owner of Legacy Motorclub made history once again at the 67th Daytona 500 on Sunday. Johnson has been chasing a top finish since his 2023 return to NASCAR as a part-time driver.

Legacy this season will field two full-time cars, the No. 43 Toyota for Erik Jones — two top-fives in two seasons with the team and a finish of 28th in the Cup Series standings — and the No. 42 Toyota for John Hunter Nemechek. Neither driver made the playoffs.

Across the contest's 67-year history, plenty of supernovas have made their mark. From Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough and Bobby Allison to Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin and William Byron, legends old and new have danced beneath the confetti in victory lane.
