Legacy Motor Club and Carvana revealed on Thursday the paint scheme for Jimmie Johnson’s No. 84 Toyota as he attempts his 21st Daytona 500 on Feb. 18 (2:30 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN Radio, Sirius XM NASCAR Radio).
The Toyota Camry XSE is a tribute to the famed Petty Blue No. 43 Plymouth that Richard Petty drove to his first Daytona 500 victory in 1964, the same year he claimed the first of his seven Cup Series championships.
The design showcases chrome accents and classic white lettering with the horsepower stamped on the hood, reminiscent of the early years of the sport. Additionally, the car features the “Petty 75” logo in honor of the family’s 75th year in NASCAR.
“Seeing my family honored in such a significant way by another NASCAR legend, Jimmie Johnson, is a humbling experience,” said Richard Petty, NASCAR’s King and an ambassador for Legacy Motor Club. “It’s a testament to the enduring impact of the Petty family on racing and we couldn’t be prouder to tie our storied history to Jimmie’s success and the future of this great sport.”
Johnson — like Petty, a seven-time Cup Series champion and a recent inductee to the NASCAR Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2024 — also kicked off his first Cup title march with a Daytona 500 triumph.
“The honor of my recent NASCAR Hall of Fame induction has given me time to reflect on my racing career that spans more than 21 years, and on the people that have been pivotal to my journey both on and off the track,” Johnson said. “My relationship with Richard, Kyle and the whole Petty family is so meaningful to me, and my goal was to celebrate their enduring legacy with this design.
“It is very special and humbling to me. That (1964) was the year Petty won his first Daytona 500 and he went on to win the championship. In 2006, I had the same series of events, so it makes it very personal to me.”
Johnson is a two-time Daytona 500 winner, prevailing in the “Great American Race” in 2006 and 2013. The 48-year-old driver qualified for the Daytona 500 field last season as a non-chartered entry, marking his first Cup Series start since his retirement from full-time competition at the end of the 2020 season.
Three platforms. Endless opportunities. One ladder to the big leagues of stock-car racing.
Previously known as NASCAR Roots, the NASCAR Regional landscape is a proving ground for budding stars. Yet it’s also the home of veteran racers who are addicted to the adrenaline that comes with pushing a race car to its limits.
Young drivers. Seasoned drivers. Stock cars. Modifieds. Short tracks. Dirt tracks. Superspeedways. Road courses. NASCAR Regional has it all.
A midwest-based sanctioning body for stock-car racing, the ARCA Menards Series is among the pillars of the NASCAR Regional platform. It’s known as the primary feeder for NASCAR’s national series.
With good reason, the ARCA Menards Series has a refrain: “We Build Champions.”
Each of the last eight NASCAR Cup Series title winners has competed on the circuits that now make up the ARCA Menards Series. In addition to the national ARCA Menards Series that features 20 races at 19 tracks across the United States, the platform includes the ARCA Menards Series East and the ARCA Menards Series West.
NASCAR stars like Benny Parsons, Chase Briscoe, Ty Gibbs, Chris Buescher, Sheldon Creed, Justin Allgaier, Ty Dillon, Grant Enfinger, Christian Eckes and Nick Sanchez, to name a few, have won ARCA Menards Series (national) championships. Countless others have won races on the platform.
Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, William Byron, Harrison Burton, Justin Haley, Ben Rhodes, Tyler Ankrum, Sam Mayer and Sammy Smith are East Series champions. Hershel McGriff, Kevin Harvick, Brendan Gaughan, Todd Gilliland and Jesse Love are among the notable NASCAR names who have secured West Series titles.
The ARCA Menards Series features remarkable diversity in both its roster of drivers and its offering of race tracks. The series competes at short tracks, intermediate tracks, superspeedways, dirt ovals and road courses all within the frame of a single season.
Hence the series’ ability to showcase the all-around skills of competitors.
Another of the NASCAR Regional pillars is the Whelen Modified Tour. And it’s crucial, as the Modified class is NASCAR’s oldest division.
Won by Red Byron, NASCAR’s first points-paying race in 1948 was a Modified division event held on the beach course in Daytona Beach, Florida. To this day, Modifieds are an intoxicating part of the sport.
The current Modified Tour ran its first season in 1985. Affectionately known as “Ground Pounders,” modern Modifieds continue to wow crowds and provide exhilarating experiences for drivers. As former NASCAR national series driver Joey Coulter said in 2022, “it’s like racing a fighter jet.”
Most of the Modified Tour schedule takes place in the northeast corner of the United States, though the series does also visit Florida, North Carolina and Virginia. In New England, though, Modified racing is king. And the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is the pinnacle of the discipline.
The best in Modified racing have claimed NASCAR championships: Richie Evans, Mike Stefanik, Jerry Cook, Tony Hirschman, Bugs Stevens, Doug Coby and Justin Bonsignore, to name a few. Other Modified Tour champions like Jimmy Spencer and Ryan Preece have successfully transitioned to NASCAR’s national series.
The Local Racing Series, previously known as the Weekly Series, serves as NASCAR’s national championship program for short-track racing.
Each year, nearly 10,000 drivers compete at NASCAR-sanctioned short tracks throughout the United States and Canada. The Local Racing Series crowns champions at track, state/provincial, regional and national levels.
The Local Racing Series includes almost 50 unique tracks that provide the stage for local drivers to gain popularity among the community. These tracks are spread across 25 states and four provinces, with drivers able to gain competition points at any of them. The inclusion of both asphalt and dirt tracks allows for a variety of cars to be raced weekly.
Many competitors use the Local Racing Series as starting points for their careers. The various divisions and levels provide a ladder-climbing system that allows drivers to move higher within the series and compete at a national level.
Jon McKennedy, the 2022 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion, is returning to the series for a part-time schedule in 2024.
Competing for his own team, McKennedy is tentatively scheduled to compete in at least five NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour events this season.
“We’re excited to get the ball rolling in our FURY race cars and go chase some trophies,” McKennedy said. “I feel this is a great opportunity for me to go out there and continue to show we can win races. We did have some other opportunities for rides, but felt this was the best route for this season. We have picked some of the higher profile events at my favorite tracks for the 2024 season and feel the competition is going to be stout at all of them.”
McKennedy’s 2024 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule will begin at New Hampshire’s Monadnock Speedway on May 4, followed by events at Massachusetts’ Seekonk Speedway (June 1), New Hampshire Motor Speedway (June 22), Monadnock (July 20) and Connecticut’s Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park (Aug. 14).
McKennedy, a two-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race winner, will make his 100th series start when the Tour returns to Seekonk on June 1.
Fans and drivers alike binged the five-episode series showcasing the intensity of the sport’s 10-race 2023 playoff stretch, and the reviews are in — ‘Full Speed’ delivers.
Some of the stars of the show and Netflix itself were among the first to chime in, sharing some of their favorite clips from the show and directing fans to watch.
Earnhardt Jr., the NASCAR Hall of Famer and one of the series’ executive producers, solicited feedback from fans checking out the show on Day 1. Needless to say, the response was overwhelmingly positive.
@DaleJr just finished ep1. Chills man. This is capturing all the feels. Absolutely incredible job. Thank you #NASCARFullSpeed
For the last 15 years, Adam Hensel has been a traveling racer.
The Atlantic, Iowa, driver typically just picks and chooses what track he wants to go to when he has a free weekend. He’s never raced for points or went for championships, he just went wherever the wind took him that week.
He was doing largely the same thing last summer, but found he was racing at Adams County Speedway more and more, and doing well.
So well that about halfway through the season he and his team realized they were leading the track’s hobby stock division point standings. So, they decided to stay there and see what could happen.
By the end of the season, Hensel had four wins and 16 top-five finishes at the NASCAR Home Track in Corning, Iowa, and a new experience. For the first time in his career he was a track champion.
“We just started out the season as a normal year, racing around,” Hensel said. “I went to a few specials with different sanctions and different tracks and never really had the intentions of running for points or anything to begin with. And it probably got about halfway through the summer and we were doing really good in points and doing really good at that track so we just kind of buckled down and stuck with it, and it worked at the end.
“I’ve never really raced a full season anywhere. I’ve never intentionally raced for points at all. That was something kind of different, something kind of new.”
Racing at just one track made working in the shop a bit easier. Instead of having to change the car to fit certain speedways, he just had to make sure his car was built for Adams County every week.
The racing, though, was much more stressful. Hensel was no longer just racing to race. He was going for wins, and competing against some of the best drivers in the Midwest. Luke Ramsey, who finished second to Hensel, is a former NASCAR national champion.
“Our class down there has a pretty long list of really talented and competitive drivers,” Hensel said. “There’s a pretty large handful of them that have extremely impressive careers, so it was by no means any easier. It was probably actually more stressful because I knew I couldn’t really take it easy at any one point in time.”
Hensel worked hard to keep the same mindset he’s had his entire racing career, but that didn’t make the races any easier.
“A lot of times I just try to treat it as a normal race. Just do what you normally do,” he said. “Show up and race and whatever happens, happens. It’s kind of hard to get the thought out of your mind when you’ve got guys that have won multiple track championships and have hundreds of wins in their career. You can’t really forget about that very easy.”
By the time championship night came around, Hensel was mostly “more excited for the night to be over with and be done with it.” The points came down to the wire, and the final night was just as much of a challenge as the rest of the season.

He finished second that night, winning the track title by 15 points.
“It was a whole new experience for me,” he said. “I never really ran for points. I really actually haven’t won a lot of races to begin with overall in all the years I’ve raced, so it was kind of overwhelming for a while, actually.
“It made all the years of racing actually kind of seem worth it for once.”
Hensel wasn’t totally new to Adams County this year. He’s raced at the track, which is about 40 minutes from his home, off and on over the years. His uncle also used to race there when Hensel was growing up.
“I kind of grew up around cars and spent a lot of time around the track as a kid,” he said.
Fast forward to 2008, when Hensel was about 24. One of his friends was competing, and Hensel started hanging out at his shop. That friend convinced him to get behind the wheel, and a group of friends all helped each other on their cars.
The sport has always just been a hobby for Hensel. He enjoys traveling and seeing different tracks, and working with friends on the cars.
He hasn’t decided if he’d like to try to defend his Adams County and national title next season. Right now, the team is working on a new motor they just purchased, and putting a new body on the car.
Where all that car will drive in 2024 is still in the air, but if it gets late in the summer and things are going well at Adams County, Hensel may have to give it another try for No. 2
“We’ve kind of talked about it the whole offseason so far, and I’ve always been so indecisive and just kind of raced what I wanted to race,” he said. “I really still haven’t made up my mind whether I want to be racing specifically for a championship again, but we’ll run the summer out and see how it goes, and if I think I’ve got a shot at it we’ll probably buckle down and try and go for it.
“But other than that I kind of just want to go back to having fun and just race whenever I want to race… If it’s stressful and you’re not having fun then there’s not much point in doing it.”
Editor’s Note: Today’s RFK Racing preview continues NASCAR.com’s countdown of team previews for the 2024 Cup Series season.
ROUSH FENWAY KESELOWSKI RACING Manufacturer: Ford Engine: Roush Yates Engines Driver-crew chief pairings: Brad Keselowski – Matt McCall (No. 6), Chris Buescher – Scott Graves (No. 17)
Team outlook: The 2023 season was definitely Chris Buescher’s year, with three wins and a seventh-place standings finish, both easily career highs. While the native Texan looks to build upon last year’s momentum, 2024 could very well be Brad Keselowski’s turn to elevate back to championship contender. The 2012 title winner had a strong 2023 campaign and although he failed to reach Victory Lane, he had seven top fives and 16 top 10s. Keselowski is a win waiting to happen.
Experience: 14 full-time NASCAR Cup Series seasons and total series 521 starts (35 wins, 146 top fives and 249 top 10s) 2023 stats: 0 wins, seven top fives, 16 top 10s, finished eighth in final Cup standings 2024 championship odds (DraftKings): 18-1
Outlook: After a strong comeback year in 2023, including making the playoffs after missing it by quite a margin a year prior, 2024 should be a continuation of Keselowski’s comeback to greater Cup success. This season should include the likelihood of him making it back to Victory Lane, as well, which he hasn’t visited in nearly three years (April 25, 2021 at Talladega).
Just think about that for a minute: the same driver who won 34 races in 13 years from 2011-21 – including the Cup championship in 2012 – hasn’t earned a win in his last 92 starts. If anyone is overdue to bounce back for a win – or more than one win – it’s Kes.
BOLD PREDICTION: Buescher’s three wins last season proved RFK has the power to reach Victory Lane. Keselowski came close to winning himself in 2023 with seven top-five finishes, including runner-up showings at Atlanta in the spring and the late summer race at Daytona. Matt McCall is one of the most underrated crew chiefs in the business and, like Keselowski in his new venture as driver/owner, is waiting for his breakout year. All the ingredients are there for both Keselowski and McCall in 2024, so let’s get bold: Keselowski makes the Round of 8 and if he gets a win in that pivotal penultimate round, he could very well be a favorite in the Championship 4 final.
CHRIS BUESCHER, NO. 17 FORD
Experience: Eight full-time NASCAR Cup Series seasons and 293 total series starts in his Cup career, (5 wins, 19 top fives and 55 top 10s) 2023 stats: 3 wins, 9 top fives and 17 top 10s, finished seventh in final Cup standings 2024 championship odds (DraftKings): 20-1
Outlook: Buescher may be a NASCAR Cup veteran with eight full-time seasons under his belt, but he massively exploded onto the scene even more in 2023 with his three wins and nine top fives, both career bests. By comparison, his best season prior to 2023 was 2022, when he had one win, three top fives and 10 top 10s.
Buescher always had the talent, but it appears he finally has the equipment to match. Now in his fifth season with RFK Racing, he has all the tools he needs to win – and he proved it last season. The season outlook looks so good for Buescher that, like the mid-80s pop song from TIMBUK 3, “The future’s so bright, (he’s) gotta wear shades.”
BOLD PREDICTION: What does Buescher do for an encore in 2024? We can easily see him winning multiple races again and have a strong run in the playoffs. Like teammate Keselowski, Buescher should be able to reach the Round of 8 in the playoffs and maybe even make it into the Championship 4. Frankly, while some people may look at RFK as an underdog, it likely will prove it’s much more than that in 2024 and maybe even a Championship 4 lock. Right now, it possesses one of the best 1-2 driver lineup punches in Cup.
The question has been asked before every NASCAR Cup Series season for nearly a decade: Is this finally the year Denny Hamlin wins a NASCAR Cup Series title?
For that stretch and 18 years running in total, the answer has been no. All the wins — 51 total … all the crown-jewel victories — three Daytona 500s, three Southern 500s, a Coca-Cola 600 … all the highlights.
But no championships.
His latest pursuit was captured and documented as part of the latest docuseries to hit Netflix, NASCAR: Full Speed. The five-episode documentary highlights Hamlin among numerous other championship contenders in the hunt for the sport’s ultimate glory. For Hamlin, that meant a candid look at what this journey means to him.
So sits Hamlin’s legacy entering the 2024 NASCAR season: a surefire Hall-of-Famer once his driving career is behind him, set to begin yet another chase for the Bill France Cup in hopes to finally check the ultimate box on an already outstanding resume.
Longtime NASCAR fans know Hamlin has been much closer to championship glory than he was a season ago when he and the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing team were ousted from title contention after the Round of 8 finale at Martinsville Speedway.
Never was he better poised to taste that triumph than in 2010, a career-best eight-win campaign in just his fifth full-time season at one of the pinnacle periods of stock-car racing prowess. With just 36 laps remaining in the year’s penultimate event at Phoenix Raceway, Hamlin held a 63-point advantage over then-four-time champion Jimmie Johnson — in position to finally dethrone the unstoppable No. 48 team while thrusting Hamlin forever into NASCAR lore.
But five laps later, then-crew-chief Mike Ford informed Hamlin he was 12 laps short on fuel, a miscalculation that ultimately necessitated a late pit stop for Hamlin while Johnson was able to remain on the race track. Suddenly, Hamlin’s race-high 190 laps led didn’t matter. He finished 12th while Johnson finished fifth, cutting the deficit to just 15 points heading to the finale.

One week later, Hamlin started 37th at Homestead-Miami Speedway but was quickly charging through the field. A Lap 24 restart quickly flipped his day upside down, however: Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota bounced off another competitor, damaging the car’s right-front fender and sending Hamlin spinning through the grass. Ultimately, the Virginia native couldn’t recover, finishing 14th while Johnson placed second, winning an unprecedented fifth consecutive NASCAR Cup Series championship. Hamlin was left a runner-up in the title standings, still his highest points finish to this day.
Despite the disappointment that afternoon, the overriding feeling was that Hamlin was due for his title soon. Thirteen years and two months later, that’s still the feeling: Denny’s due.
He came close again in 2019, starting on the pole position in the Championship 4 finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway and running second with 60 laps to go as green-flag pit stops began. As part of the stop, the crew applied a piece of tape to the nose of the car to aid the handling — but the tape proved too large and starved the engine of air, causing it to overheat and forcing Hamlin back to pit road. Another opportunity, another disappointment.

“He had so many great years where we were thinking, ‘Man, this is the year,’ ” Dale Earnhardt Jr., a NASCAR Hall of Famer and NBC Sports broadcaster, said in NASCAR: Full Speed. “It’s an unfortunate thing, right, to be good enough and not get it. I think Denny, understanding his age, understanding where he is in his life, realizes it’s now or never.”
Since NASCAR transitioned to an elimination-style playoff format in 2014 leaving four drivers to fight for the title in the season finale every season, Hamlin has advanced to the Championship 4 four times. Never has he finished better than third in that span.
“Do I want to win a championship? A thousand percent,” Hamlin said in the docuseries. “But it’s not going to define my career. My career is defined by how many trophies do I have right here in this house? Right now, there’s 50 of them.”
Since that interview, he added another trophy thanks to his playoff win at Bristol Motor Speedway. He’s voiced how content he is racking up wins and is targeting 60 total victories — a figure that would tie him with Kevin Harvick, the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion, for 10th on the all-time wins list.
But the goal of any professional athlete is the pinnacle accomplishment — a title.
“Denny wants that championship more than he wants oxygen,” ESPN’s Marty Smith said in the documentary.
The most recent setbacks came at Martinsville Speedway both in 2022 and 2023. In 2022, Ross Chastain’s ‘Hail Melon’ wall-ride around Turns 3 and 4 propelled him ahead of Hamlin by a mere four points in the standings, prohibiting Hamlin from advancing to the Championship 4. Last year, it was a combination of events that eliminated Hamlin. A mechanical failure sent him into the wall at Homestead before things eventually ran dry at the Round of 8 finale at Martinsville. Entering the short track 17 points short, Hamlin dominated at one of his home tracks but couldn’t beat Ryan Blaney, who won to advance. Hamlin missed the cut by eight points, and Blaney went on to win the title.
“I can’t draw any conclusions on why, year after year, things out of my control have happened that (have) taken us from in control to out of it,” Hamlin told Netflix after his 2023 elimination. “It’s just been bad luck, honestly. I am the black cat of death. I’m (expletive) cursed.”
Nobody has won more races since the start of the 2019 season than Hamlin, who leads the league with 20 victories in that span over Kyle Larson (18), Chase Elliott (15), Harvick (15) and Martin Truex Jr. (15). Each of them has a championship … except for Hamlin.
Back in 2010, when Hamlin, Johnson and Harvick chased championship glory that sunny day at Homestead, ESPN pit reporter Vince Welch offered this ahead of the green flag:
“For these three championship contenders, the next few hours will feature moments that will define their careers, maybe shape their legacy. Some spend an entire lifetime chasing a championship, and some never satisfy their hunger to win another. This day, this race is what they live for. It will provide a joy — or a heartbreak — that they will never forget.”
Johnson ended his career with a record-tying seven championships. Harvick got his title glory in 2014.
William Byron is a lot like the rest of us — a person in need of some hobbies.
His day job might not be like most of ours, considering we aren’t NASCAR Cup Series drivers competing for the winningest team in NASCAR history and didn’t win a series-high six races in 2023 en route to the Championship 4. That part? That’s all Byron and the No. 24 team.
But when the 26-year-old Hendrick Motorsports star has downtime after racing door-to-door at 195 mph, he loves to build Legos, as revealed on NASCAR: Full Speed, the new documentary available to stream now on Netflix.
“I feel like the muscle movements in my hands is kind of like driving,” Byron said in the documentary. “Once I get in a rhythm with it, it flows pretty naturally.”
Byron credited Erin Blaney, his longtime girlfriend, for breaking him into the building world.
“Erin felt I needed something to get my mind off racing and do something different, but I took it to a new level,” Byron said. “It fits my personality. It’s very analytical.”
Netflix also wasn’t the first television appearance of Byron’s handy work. The Charlotte, North Carolina, native appeared on a 2022 episode of “LEGO Masters” on FOX, offering feedback to contestants as they attempted to build and design race cars out of Lego blocks.
After a career year in 2023, Byron sets his sights on greatness in 2024. His eight wins since the beginning of the 2022 season top the league in that span, ahead of Kyle Larson’s seven and five others with five victories: Christopher Bell, Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano and Tyler Reddick.
Byron gets back on track Sunday for the Busch Light Clash at The Coliseum at 8 p.m. ET with live coverage on FOX, MRN Radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
