Legacy Motor Club made changes to its NASCAR Cup Series team by parting ways with Dave Elenz, the crew chief for the No. 43 team for the past three seasons, following one win and 21 top-10 finishes with Erik Jones. Elenz’s departure came after Jones finished fifth in the YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, where Jones is currently sitting in 30th place in the championship standings. Ben Beshore has taken over as crew chief for Jones for the final five Cup Series races, transitioning from the No. 42 team with John Hunter Nemechek, who will now be led by interim crew chief Brian Campe. Maury Gallagher acquired the majority of Richard Petty Motorsports to form Petty GMS Racing in 2022, now known as Legacy Motor Club after the addition of Jimmie Johnson to the ownership group. With their first and only victory so far in the series coming from the Southern 500 in 2022, Legacy Motor Club has amassed 104 top-10 finishes in 356 starts.
