Legacy Motor Club adds star athletes and celebrities to ownership group

Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, who co‑owns Legacy Motor Club, announced a new strategic ownership lineup for the team. The group includes championship athletes such as two‑time MLB MVP Bryce Harper, six‑time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon, four‑time IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti, Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan, former U.S. Open champion Andy Roddick, 11‑time surfing world champion Kelly Slater and six‑time MLB All‑Star Chase Utley. Entertainers and business leaders joining the roster are Grammy winner Darius Rucker, Emmy‑award chef Guy Fieri, entrepreneur Jen Rubio and CrossHarbor Capital co‑founder Sam Byrne.

Johnson said the diverse group “understands competition, leadership, innovation, storytelling and how enduring organizations are built,” and that their combined experience will help Legacy Motor Club become “fundamentally different within motorsports and culture.” The ownership slate is intended to expand the team’s relevance across media, partnerships, hospitality and fan experience while competing at the highest level on the track.
