Jimmie Johnson returned to NASCAR in 2023, after a two-season shift to the NTT IndyCar Series. Johnson became co-owner of the newly rebranded LEGACY MOTOR CLUB team, and he was announced as the part-time driver of the team’s part-time No. 84 entry.

The team will swap from Chevrolet to Toyota in 2024, and on Wednesday, it was confirmed that Johnson will drive for the new manufacturer.

“100 percent, yes. You will see [Johnson] in a Toyota,” said Wilson. “That will be very moving and emotional for me personally, professionally, for Toyota. Now I’ll let Jimmie fill in the blank, but I will just say that Jimmie Johnson will be racing a Toyota Camry before he is done as a race car driver.”

Let’s play an adult version of that popular kid’s interactive video song series on YouTube from Super Simple Songs… Do you like racing? Yes, I do! Do you like whiskey? Yes, I do! Do you like racing and whiskey? Yes, I do! Yum!

While the kid’s version of this exercise typically pairs two things that don’t go together to illicit a feeling of disgust, SS Green Light Racing announced a new primary sponsorship for Stefan Parsons and the No. 07 team for next weekend’s event at Nashville Superspeedway and the partnership couldn’t be any more perfect!

Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery will serve as the sponsorship partner and they will feature its Tennessee Whiskey brand.
