It seems that Legacy Motor Membership is able to make some adjustments.
On Sunday, the crew reportedly parted methods with competitors director Joey Cohen, with longtime NASCAR crew chief and govt Bobby Kennedy being promoted to GM.
The change comes in the course of a sluggish season for the crew, which had excessive expectations coming into the season. With a veteran in Erik Jones and a rejuvenated John Hunter Nemechek making up its lineup for 2024, it appeared the crew was destined for a stable season.
Alas, issues haven’t gone as deliberate for Legacy in 2024, because the crew’s two entries sit twenty eighth and thirtieth in factors, respectively.
With the crew solely garnering 5 top-10 finishes in 38 complete begins, it is clear that it is not the place it desires to be. It will take a miraculous win over the following six races for both Jones or Nemechek to make the 2024 playoffs, however the clear lack of velocity needs to be the larger challenge at hand.
If Legacy desires to correctly characterize the title of its crew and the legends concerned — Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Richard Petty are all tied to the group — it must rapidly discover a resolution for its poor efficiency.
If it would not, 2025 may see the crew sink to its lowest level but.
The crew’s subsequent race is Sunday afternoon at Pocono. The Nice American Getaway 400 will go inexperienced shortly after 2:30 p.m. ET, with protection on USA Community, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR.
Jones will begin twenty third for Sunday’s race, with Nemechek beginning thirty second.
