Jimmie Johnson's Legacy Motor Club have announced a massive deal to run through the 2028 season.

The team have announced a long-term extension to their prominent sponsorship deal with Dollar Tree, with the No. 42 and No. 43 cars set to carry the iconic branding for at least the next three years after this one.

Those cars are currently driven by John Hunter Nemechek and Erik Jones, and are still looking for their first playoff berth as Legacy Motor Club as the team looks to expand to three cars.

That move to three cars was intended to be facilitated by the purchase of a charter from Rick Ware Racing, which has become bogged down in the courts as the two teams quibble over when they sale will come into effect.

Legacy drivers hail huge new deal

Dollar Tree CMO Rick McNeely said of the extended deal with the team: "We’re excited to extend our partnership with Legacy Motor Club through 2028.

"This continued collaboration puts our brand in front of millions of loyal NASCAR fans and gives us the opportunity to drive deeper engagement with customers in a bold, high-energy environment. We’re looking forward to what’s ahead with Jimmie (Johnson), John Hunter, Erik, and the entire Legacy MC team.”

Nemechek added: “It’s an honor to continue carrying the Dollar Tree brand on our cars. Their support helps us deliver results on track, bring value back to their vendor partners and helps build fandom of the Club.”

Meanwhile, Jones contributed: “Having such a recognizable brand like Dollar Tree with us for years to come gives the Club stability and energy. We are building a legacy together and hope to enjoy success for years to come.”
