The two races include:

  • The Daytona 500 on February 16 (potentially his 22nd start in this event)
  • The Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 25 (marking his 700th Cup Series start)

Johnson's impressive career highlights at these venues include:

  • Two Daytona 500 victories (2006 and 2013)
  • Four Coca-Cola 600 wins
  • Charlotte Motor Speedway holds special significance as the location of his first Cup Series start

This marks the fifth season 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 milestone, with paint schemes to be revealed later.

"These two races hold a special place in my heart, and I've always loved the energy and excitement that surrounds them," Johnson said. "The Daytona 500 is a crown jewel of NASCAR — there's nothing like it."

Johnson continues his role as co-owner of Legacy Motor Club while maintaining his relationship with Carvana, who has supported his racing aspirations across different series. Ryan Keeton, Carvana's co-founder and Chief Brand Officer, expressed excitement about supporting Johnson and Legacy Motor Club for a third season.
