It seems that Legacy Motor Membership is able to make some adjustments.
On Sunday, the workforce reportedly parted methods with competitors director Joey Cohen, with longtime NASCAR crew chief and government Bobby Kennedy being promoted to GM.
The change comes in the midst of a sluggish season for the workforce, 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 workforce was destined for a strong season.
Alas, issues haven’t gone as deliberate for Legacy in 2024, because the workforce’s two entries sit twenty eighth and thirtieth in factors, respectively.
With the workforce solely garnering 5 top-10 finishes in 38 complete begins, it is clear that it’s not the place it needs 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 must be the larger subject at hand.
If Legacy needs to correctly symbolize the identify of its workforce and the legends concerned — Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Richard Petty are all tied to the group — it must rapidly discover a answer for its poor efficiency.
If it would not, 2025 might see the workforce sink to its lowest level but.
The workforce’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.
