But so do we.

Regardless if I’m happy or not that Jimmie did well at Le Mans last weekend, I’m not very optimistic about this at all. This unfortunately doesn’t change the fact that Jimmie and LMC themselves need to do some serious upgrading on their overall team quality for next year. Maybe Toyota can change this around, but this will be a tough change for everyone to get through. In fact, next year could be even worse than this year because of growing pains. I hope that isn’t the case, but it most likely will be. Hopefully, with Jimmie and Toyota together things can turn around, but I’m not holding my breath right now.

As a Jimmie Johnson fan, all I can say... Oh boy. 2024 will be quite a wild thing indeed. Wishing all best to him and LMC obviously, but... I'm praying that this won't be another Furniture Row or Leavine Brothers PS: And yes, I say that as a rational fan who isn't crying about Toyota if you're wondering, just saying about that last part

They ain't got no alliance with JGR. They are going to be in independent team so won't end up like furniture Row racing sodelete your comment for being uneducated

I think it’s cool how much Toyota supports nascar. They clearly have people that are passionate about the sport and I like seeing that.

A much needed change, since Chevy hasn’t shown that they care about LMC. If Toyota is offering to make them a key partner and invest, then we’ll see it pay off. In short, it’s an aggressive business move for a team that needs aggressive moves. As for Jimmie, I just want to see him have a solid run/no mistakes race if he’s intent on still driving, but he needs testing to get caught up on the grip level in this car. He’s a year and a half behind the regular guys on finding the edge. Unlikely he wins again, but at the least he should look like he knows what he’s doing.

Happy to see JJ on the track and I don’t care what car it’s in. He’s the GOAT and every time you seen him is a gift at this point.

My son has always been a Jimmie fan, me Toyota fan, this is perfect

He drove a Honda in Indycar so I’m not fully surprised. Hendrick and Roush are the only teams who have not switched manufacturers in the last 15 years. Even Penske switches from time to time. He’s going where he feels like his team will be competitive and their drivers already have connections with TRD from their KBM days

I’m sure Jimmie can still run well, problem is he gets caught in other drivers wrecks. He also was having an amazing run in the Daytona 500 until the big one happened :( hopefully Jimmie can get good finishes and maybe a win(I hope)

Gonna be weird seeing a Petty blue #43 camary

It's a business decision simple as that. I know Jimmie is running a couple more races with LMC, but if Le Mans is the last significant race for him in a Chevy, at least he finished well in it. Plus maybe JJ will run in a third TGR car at Le Mans in future years, this time for the overall win- I wouldn't be surprised if there was some discussion on this.

I just want to see him back into a win so hard, or have a flash in the pan moment, similar to Helio Castroneves when he won the Indy 500 in 2021

It’s still weird to me how new(er) NASCAR fans are experiencing Jimmie Johnson being a mediocre driver and will know him as that. Like you said in the video, so far from him dominating every week for years and years.

Exactly

It’ll definitely be interesting to see him in a Toyota. Hopefully he performs well. Also I wonder how Michael Mrucz feels about this.

I Like this move. LMC is about the 6th best Chevy team rn behind Hendrick, RCR, Trackhouse, JTG, and Kaulig. The absolute lowest they can go with Toyota is 3rd behind Gibbs and 23XI. Getting more attention from a manufacturer will definitely help them.

Good Luck JJ with the Toyota! I think that Garage 56 run at Le Mans last week was a great send-off for Jimmer considering he, Jenson Button and Rockenfeller made the distance by finishing the 24 Hour race.

LMC is going to perform just like Leavine Family Racing. I'm bookmarking it.

A smart business decision but man it’s not going to be the same without him running a Bowtie i am still a Jimmie Johnson fan no matter what he drives

Die Hard JJ fan here, holy this is exciting. Ever since Toyota came to the sport I began to support Kyle Busch as well, since my dad owned a Toyota 4Runner, the rav4 and now the taco, I've also been given my grandmas Toyota 2009 Camry that made me feel like I was driving a nascar lol. I always had my sights set on buying a rare impala one day (that's a dream). But anyways besides that story, I think its awesome seeing my favourite driver drive in my favourite car manufacturer! I hope it'll be a better year for him though as it hurts seeing him decline like this

I’m a Blaney fan now, but I literally grew up a fan of Jimmie Johnson. Like my dad was a Dale Jr fan at first, but then started to root for Johnson on his 1st cup series start. And so I became a Johnson fan when I was just a year old. So yeah, it does hurt growing up seeing your driver win so many races and championships. And then seeing him just fall off a cliff since like 2018 in terms of competitiveness just hurts as a fan. Then now seeing him move to Toyota just makes it even worse. But all in all, I will still root for him and hope he gets at least one more win before he fully retires from racing. To me he’s still the Ol Seven Time.

OH MY FUCKIN' GOD! It'll be tough, absolutely.

MARK MY WORDS! Jimmie Johnson will win again. I wrote this down in my notes in 2020 or so when he announced he was going to Indycar in 2021. His plan was the come back the entire time. With the nextgen being a much more aero dependent type of car, what better way to learn how to drive such a vehicle and learn how to better understand the aerodynamic aspects of driving than doing a season and a half of Indycar and a handful of IMSA races. On top of that, doing a handful of races this season in Cup on every type of track and running the 24 hours of LeMans. This man has seen the development of a nextgen car from its base state to the car’s highest potential in its evolution. He’s driven this car such a long period of time under such extreme conditions. This man has been PREPARING for the comeback of a lifetime. The Toyota alliance will make that team faster for sure. Toyota is extremely successful in NASCAR and for a long time have been eager to expand to more cars. We see how David Wilson feels about Jimmie and again the eagerness of Toyota to have more cup teams. Their team is in prime position to get significantly better information from Toyota and the other Toyota teams. And Gragson and Jones are extremely talented ex Toyota drivers. Does anyone really think that this type of guy, who was so dominant would want his career to end being tied in championships and wins with other drivers. I’m sure that ate at him so much for years after 2017. With this format, I think Jimmie Johnson can go out and win two critical races in a season and with an 8th title. Breaking his championship ties and win ties. It’s not over by any means. This is the beginning of something legendary. It’s been so clear since the beginning

I would like to see Jimmie race the full year in the new car. I think it would be cool to see a lot of the older guys like Jimmie, Dale Jr, Kasey Kahne, Jamie McMurray, and Carl Edwards try the new car out.

I cannot believe jimmie is actually doing this 0:26

In today’s NASCAR everything thought to be impossible, improbable, unimaginable, unthinkable, and no way never ever will it…is 100% plausible.

The child is me is so used to JJ drive in a Chevy but the Toyota fan in me is excited to see him, Noah and Erik drive in the Camrys next year.

I'm a fan of nascar, and i think in the long run nascar benefits most by JJ succeed as a team owner. So whatever JJ think is necessary to improve , then go for it. As of today they got nothing to loose anyway.

I guess I'm a Toyota fan now. Where Jimmie goes, I go.

It does not matter as I followed Jimmie when he was running Mickey Thompson. We had great years, absolute dream years, 5 in a row. And never stopped competing the years between 6 and 7. Even Indy cars when he did the ovals it was amazing what he was doing. I am his fan, thick and thin.

Imagine a Time Traveler goes back to 2010 and tells Jimmie Johnson fan that he's going to run horribly in 2018-2020, barely complete a lap in 2023, and then run a Toyota in 2024...

It is what it is; it isn't like there isn't already precedent. He drove a Honda powered IndyCar for 2 years, so there's that. Plus he's not going to be fulltime, so I just look at it as Jimmie just having fun. So the real question no one seems to be asking is, why did Chevrolet let him go? It's kinda like Kyle Busch leaving Gibbs for RCR. And to be fair, Legacy is so lost right now, it might actually be for the best to get more factory support from Toyota.

As a lifelong Jimmie Johnson fan, it has been tough to see him fall off like he has, but at the end of the day if he’s happy and excited for what he’s doing then I’ll be behind him 100%, doesn’t matter if he’s finishing 1st or 40th I’ll be rooting for him no questions asked.

I can't imagine what Michael Mrucz is thinking

As a Jimmie Johnson fan I’m excited to see what he does in the 84 Toyota Camry for Legacy Motor Club after Johnson retired Kyle Larson has been my driver on a full time basis

I have to admit, I am sick to my stomach about this, but at the same time, we’ve seen this type of stuff many times before with drivers switching manufacturers. Take Matt Kenseth leaving Ford after 2012 to Toyota in 2013 for example, or most recently, Kyle Busch moving back to Chevy with RCR after having a fallout with JGR and Toyota. To me, it doesn’t matter what manufacturer he drives, at the end of the day, i’m still going to support my hero until the day I die, however, as much as I hate to admit it, his glory days are long behind him. Pocono has proven to be a career-killer track, and on that one dreadful day in 2017, little did we Jimmie fans know at the time that a dose of reality was smacked into us at a turn 1 wall at 150mph. 😞

As a chevrolet and jimmie fan it's gonna be weird but good luck jimmie

I've been a Jimmie johnson fan all my life, and I don't really care that he's going to Toyota. I definitely prefer him in a Chevy, but it's just a manufacturer after all.

As a Jimmie fan it will feel weird seeing him in a Toyota but I hope it’ll help him and his team improve their performance, tho the only way to go is up from how they’ve been running this year

I thought this was well known, the reveal video from Toyota had the 84 with the rest of the numbers

Old Man Johnson 👴

It’s like watching someone kick an already dead body

Smart move. Chevy has too many cars in the field and the teams lower on the totem pole like Legacy is were likely seeing very little manufacturer support. Switching to Toyota who only has 6 cars in the field currently is definitely going to improve manufacturer support which would only help Legacy and take them to the next level which Petty never did. This move also balances out the Cup field manufacturer-wise and perhaps even one more Chevy team could switch to Toyota to fully balance it. A team like Spire perhaps could potentially benefit going to Toyota. Best case scenario, I'd like to see a 4th manufacturer enter, specifically for Dodge to return, but it's not looking like it's going to be happening like people initially thought.

No, im actually fine with this. Jimmie is and always will be my favorite driver no matter the car manufacturer. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Jimmie Johnson gonna race into his 60s like Derrike Cope

As a Jimmie fan, I’m looking forward to next season for Legacy MC

As a fan of Jimmie Johnson, I don’t mind. He wanted to change for the team since overall they are scraping by finding few gems along the road. It’s also pretty bold and weird for the guy doing this change lmfao. But if he wants to do it, he’ll do it.

W JIMMIE!!!!!!!!

Well in my best to worst tier video I put Jimmie in just retire categorie so I agree

Mrucz 😮

Went from JJ to KFB to Byron so I’ll be fine. Even though William Byron is my guy I do hope JJ just does well with what he does. Heck I’m a Chevy guy but I drive a ford right now because I can’t afford getting a new car yet.

Sometimes I wonder what really happened at Hendrick, Jimmie don’t hang around them at the track so I wonder if Hendrick forced him to retire

JJ is a field filler. He once was a Champion in multiple racing series. When I retire that means I leave that career and enjoy the simple life that I created. Racing drivers are a special breed. We can't understand unless we all become Nascar drivers. Yes, JJ has to drive to pay for the bills that his wife accumulates as a shops. 😅

As a Jimmie fan man that’s gonna feel weird. I mean Toyota getting more cars to help will be good for them but I do want Jimmie to do well. I loved how happy he was at Le Mans and if this means he can run better and has one crazy happy retirement then awesome Also cota wasn’t his fault I’m sure if he wasn’t in the back of the pack he would’ve done well. Daytona he did great until the final couple restarts and got in someone else’s mess. The 600 everyone makes mistakes, I’d hardly say that he can barely run a lap, take a look at Le Mans

welp, next year, might as well get another diecast for my favorite nascar driver!

It’s painful. Much like Scuderia Ferrari now. I wish both were competing for wins on a regular basis, but reality paints a different narrative.
