Johnson will drive the No. 84 Toyota for Legacy Motor Club, the team he co-owns, with Carvana returning as his sponsor. The Coca-Cola 600 will mark Johnson's milestone 700th Cup Series start, while the Daytona 500 could be his 22nd appearance in NASCAR's premier event.

"These two races hold a special place in my heart," Johnson said. "The Daytona 500 is a crown jewel of NASCAR, and Charlotte Motor Speedway is where I made my first Cup Series start."

Johnson's racing accomplishments include:

  • Two Daytona 500 victories (2006, 2013)
  • Four Coca-Cola 600 wins
  • Seven NASCAR Cup Series championships
  • NASCAR Hall of Fame member

The 2025 season marks the fifth year of partnership between Johnson and Carvana, which began during his IndyCar Series venture in 2021. The company will create a special livery to commemorate Johnson's 700th start, with paint schemes to be revealed at a later date.

"I'm so proud of the relationship we have built with Carvana," Johnson added. "They have always been supportive of my dreams and always find innovative ways to connect with fans."
