INDIANAPOLIS, IN — As the NASCAR Cup Series prepares for one of its most historic events, the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it’s clear that Legacy Motor Club has arrived with serious speed and intent. During final practice ahead of Sunday’s race, teammates John Hunter Nemechek and Erik Jones turned heads by posting the two fastest overall lap averages, signaling their readiness to challenge for the win at the iconic 2.5-mile oval.
🔥 Practice Standouts
🥇 John Hunter Nemechek – Fastest overall in lap averages 🥈 Erik Jones – Second fastest overall
The two Legacy Motor Club drivers consistently ran at the top of the charts, not just on single-lap speed but in sustained pace over longer runs. That kind of performance is exactly what teams and fans look for heading into race day, especially at a track where tire wear, rhythm, and consistency can define the outcome.
📈 Confidence Building for Legacy
For Nemechek, who is still in his first full-time season in the No. 42 car, topping the practice sheets is a major confidence boost. The former Xfinity Series standout has shown flashes of potential this season, and a strong result at Indianapolis could solidify his growth as a Cup Series regular.
Jones, in the No. 43 entry, brings more Cup experience to the team and is a past winner at Darlington. His pace at Indy shows that Legacy Motor Club’s recent investments and manufacturer switch to Toyota are beginning to bear fruit.
🛠️ Teamwork and Momentum
The impressive practice showing also highlights the importance of collaboration within Legacy Motor Club. With the two drivers working together on setup and drafting lines, it’s clear the team is focused not only on individual performance but on raising the overall standard of the organization.
While the race itself can bring unpredictability, especially with Indianapolis’s tight corners and long straights, one thing is certain — Legacy Motor Club has speed, and they’ve come to the Brickyard ready to fight.
Can they turn practice pace into race day results? All eyes will be on the No. 42 and No. 43 cars when the green flag drops for the Brickyard 400 this Sunday.
