Creed Joins Johnson as Daytona 500 Associate Sponsor

STATESVILLE, N.C. — Legacy Motor Club has inked a partnership with multi-platinum, Grammy and American Music Award-winning rock band Creed for the 66th running of the Daytona 500.

The livery of Jimmie Johnson’s No. 84 Toyota Camry XSE was unveiled earlier this month by Carvana and is a tribute to “The King” Richard Petty’s No. 43 paint scheme that raced the legendary driver raced in 1964 Daytona 500.

Creed will have associate placement on Johnson’s Toyota Camry XSE as they celebrate their 40-city North American tour, called the “Summer of ’99” Tour.

“Unless you have lived under a rock, you know every word to every Creed hit,” said Johnson jokingly. “In seriousness, our partnership with Live Nation is very important to us – last year we had Guns’ N Roses on Erik’s (Jones) car and this season another heavy hitter with Creed.

“The GNR diecast was NASCAR’s second best-seller last season so I’m proud of our relationship with Live Nation and am happy to welcome Creed ‘With Arms Wide Open’ to the Club.”

Johnson will look to qualify for his 21st Daytona 500 this week. 

“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Jimmie and his team at Legacy Motor Club. Having the Creed logo on a car modeled after the legend Richard Petty’s paint scheme is a new career first for us,” adds Creed.
