While team co-owner and Hall of Fame inductee Jimmie Johnson’s race didn’t go as well as he hoped, LMC’s two full-time drivers – John Hunter Nemechek and Erik Jones – both left Monday’s rain-delayed Daytona 500 with a strong start to the 2024 season.
When a last-lap caution froze the field, Nemechek was credited with a seventh-place finish while Jones was eighth. That’s a marked improvement from last year when LMC’s three entries all finished 24th or worse.
