LEGACY MOTOR CLUB Race Report: Phoenix Raceway

Noah Gragson, No. 42 Sunseeker Resorts Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 32nd
FINISH: 29th
POINTS: 32nd

Noah Gragson Post-Race Thoughts: “Definitely not the weekend we had hoped for in Phoenix. Luke Lambert and the rest of the Sunseeker Resorts team gave it their best effort and helped us get better towards the end, but at that point we were too far behind and trapped a few laps down so we couldn’t really do much. We finished 29th, but I know that everything will begin to click for us in the near future. Just going to go back and keep working hard. We’ll give it another shot in Atlanta.”

Erik Jones, No. 43 Allegiant Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 10th
FINISH: 21st
POINTS: 28th

Erik Jones Post-Race Thoughts: “We had good speed for qualifying and then just had to overcome handling issues during the race. Not at all what we wanted out of Phoenix so we are going to go back and work hard this week to figure it out for Atlanta. I’m thankful for everyone’s help on our No. 43 Allegiant Chevy and all of the LEGACY MOTOR CLUB fans cheering us on every weekend.”

The team was rebranded to LEGACY MOTOR CLUB in 2023 with the addition of Johnson, another seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, to the ownership structure. As a nod to car clubs of past eras, LEGACY M.C. is an inclusive club for the automobile racing enthusiast, fostering a team environment that will breed success for years to come. LEGACY M.C.’s vision is to honor the rich history of its past and acknowledge the future of the sport with some of today’s most iconic drivers.
