Legacy Motor Club
Legacy Motor Club, formerly known as Petty GMS Motorsports, is an American professional stock car racing team owned by Jimmie Johnson with minority stakes by Richard Petty, Maury Gallagher, Knighthead Capital Management and Darius Rucker.
The team competes in the NASCAR Cup Series where they currently field three Toyota Camry teams: the No. 42 full-time for John Hunter Nemechek, the No. 43 full-time for Erik Jones, and the No. 84 part-time for team co-owner Johnson. The team has a technical alliance with Toyota Racing Development. In 2024, Legacy Motor Club competed in the electric off-road racing series Extreme E.
On December 1, 2021, Maury Gallagher purchased a majority interest in the former Richard Petty Motorsports for US$19 million. The deal included both of RPM's charters; the No. 43 continued to operate with its charter while the second charter – which was leased to Rick Ware Racing for the No. 51 from 2019 to 2021 – was transferred to a second car for the team, the No. 42. Following the purchase, the team was renamed to Petty GMS Motorsports.
On September 16, 2022, it was reported that Petty GMS Motorsports would use Joe Gibbs Racing pit crews in 2023. On November 4, seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson purchased an ownership stake in Petty GMS. Following the 2022 season, Richard Petty sold all shares of Petty GMS Motorsports to majority owner Gallagher.
On January 11, 2023, the team announced the rebranding of the organization to Legacy Motor Club, marking the first time since the founding of NASCAR in 1949 that the Petty family has not had their name on a team in NASCAR's top series. On February 18, Petty announced that Johnson had taken control of the team's day-to-day operations, leaving him without decision-making power. On May 3, the team announced it will switch manufacturers from Chevrolet to Toyota in 2024. On July 26, Cal Wells was appointed as the team's CEO. On August 25, Bill Scott was promoted from Executive Vice President & General Counsel to COO. On October 10, Matt Kenseth was named the team’s Competition Advisor.
On January 25, 2024, Trevor Bayne was named the team's Competition Advisor. On July 14, Bobby Kennedy was named General Manager, while Competition Director Joey Cohen left the team.
On January 27, 2025, Johnson was named majority owner of Legacy Motor Club, with Knighthead Capital Management purchasing a minority stake and Gallagher stepping back into an ambassador role.
On March 25, 2026, Darius Rucker was named co-owner of LMC.
