Legacy Motor Club has officially renewed its partnership with Newmar for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season, continuing the collaboration that began in 2025. The extended agreement names Newmar as the Official Motorcoach of Legacy Motor Club and brings a deeper focus on tailored design and competitive advantage, as the team seeks to further its success in Statesville and beyond.
Custom Motorcoach Enhances Team Operations for the New Season
As Legacy Motor Club grows both on and off the track, the organization and Newmar have collaborated on a state-of-the-art coach designed around the unique requirements of the racing team. Planning for this project began in May 2025, when both parties started outlining essential elements that would support race day operations, enhance partner interactions, and facilitate content creation.
Jimmie Johnson, the team’s owner and a seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, explained the importance of having a coach that reflects how the organization operates:
“As our organization continues to grow, we needed a coach designed around how our team works. Newmar understood that from day one.”
— Jimmie Johnson, Owner
The new custom coach features an interior configured specifically for engineering meetings, team debriefs, and preparation for drivers like Erik Jones and John Hunter Nemechek. There is also a dedicated area for engaging partners and capturing content. The exterior highlights team branding and sponsor elements, making it an integral part of trackside activity. Uniquely, the 2026 model reintroduces the mid-entry design on a Newmar Class A motorcoach, a feature absent for two decades.
Newmar’s Engineering Team Delivers a Bespoke Solution
Casey Tubman, President of Newmar Corporation, shared insight into the collaborative design process that focused on Legacy Motor Club’s workload and operational needs:
“Every great build starts with understanding how it will be used.”
— Casey Tubman, President of Newmar Corporation
“LEGACY MOTOR CLUB came to us with a clear vision, and our team worked closely with theirs to design a coach that meets the demands placed upon while working trackside. We’re honored to renew this partnership and deliver a coach tailored to the way their team works. The opportunity to reintroduce a mid-entry is a further testament to our Engineering team’s commitment to customization for our owners.”
— Casey Tubman, President of Newmar Corporation
This ongoing partnership highlights Newmar’s focus on superior craftsmanship and innovative customization, building on its half-century reputation as a premier RV manufacturer. Newmar is recognized for its premium motorhomes across North America and is a subsidiary of Winnebago Industries, a leader in the outdoor recreation sector.
Season-Long Campaign Showcases Custom Coach in Action
A video campaign will roll out during the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series, offering fans behind-the-scenes views of the coach’s development and the role it plays in supporting both competition and the marketing team. The campaign will bring viewers into Legacy Motor Club’s world as it prepares for key races, documented through real-world applications and day-to-day challenges.
Legacy Motor Club is a prominent auto racing team, co-owned by Jimmie Johnson and Knighthead Capital Management, LLC, and features iconic figures like Hall of Famer Richard Petty as Club Ambassador. The organization fields the No. 43 Toyota Camry XSE driven by Erik Jones, the No. 42 Toyota Camry XSE piloted by John Hunter Nemechek, and Johnson himself in the No. 84 Toyota Camry XSE for select races. Blending tradition and innovation, Legacy Motor Club aims for continued championship glory in the NASCAR Cup Series.
Strengthening Partnership and Shared Values for 2026
Renewing the Legacy Motor Club partnership represents more than a business agreement—it is a commitment to continual improvement, elite performance, and a shared passion for motorsports. As the 2026 season approaches, the collaboration reinforces both organizations’ dedication to excellence, functionality, and pushing the limits within their respective fields. The enhanced motorcoach stands as a testament to what’s possible when engineering meets high-level competitive ambition, setting the team up for a promising year ahead.
