“Darius is someone who understands the power of connection with fans, with communities and through storytelling,” Legacy owner Jimmie Johnson said in a press release. “What he’s built in music, the authenticity he brings to everything he does aligns directly with who we are as a Club. We’re excited to welcome him into Legacy and to build something meaningful together.”
Rucker also revealed the news on “The Dan Patrick Show” earlier Wednesday, with host Dan Patrick jokingly alluding to Rucker as now “Johnson’s Michael Jordan” (co-owner of 23XI Racing with Denny Hamlin.)

According to the team, Rucker will work with Legacy on initiatives to bridge sports, music and fan engagement, while supporting the team’s continued efforts and development.
Legacy Motor Club currently fields two full-time NASCAR Cup Series entries with drivers John Hunter Nemechek (No. 42) and Erik Jones (No. 43). Johnson, a seven-time Cup champion, pilots the No. 84 entry in select events and previously expressed the team’s plan to add a third full-time entry for the 2027 season.
