At the 2025 Daytona 500, Johnson secured a third-place finish, his best performance at the event since his victory in 2013. This result also represents his highest finish with the Next Gen cars, surpassing his previous best of 26th at the 2024 season finale. citeturn0search11
In January 2025, Johnson expanded his role within Legacy Motor Club by becoming the majority owner. This transition followed Knighthead Capital Management’s investment, which saw the firm acquire a significant portion of the ownership stake from co-owner Maury Gallagher. Gallagher remains involved as an ambassador, while Johnson has relocated back to Charlotte to take a more active role in the team’s daily operations. citeturn0news12
Johnson’s multifaceted involvement—returning to the track as a driver and stepping up as a team owner—underscores his enduring commitment to NASCAR and his determination to elevate Legacy Motor Club’s performance in the competitive racing landscape.
