On April 1, 2025, LMC sued Rick Ware Racing over the sale of a charter. On March 3, both teams signed a deal for RWR to sell a charter to LMC, but RWR has allegedly backed out on the deal. RWR claims the agreement would go in effect in 2027, but LMC changed the terms to 2026 without any communication with RWR. On April 9, LMC obtained a temporary restraining order preventing RWR from selling, leasing, or otherwise encumbering the charter in question for at least 10 days or until agreement by LMC and RWR. However, a North Carolina judge denied LMC the injunction. It was revealed that the lawsuit resulted from a confusion over which of RWR's two charters was in the transaction. The agreement stated Charter 36 (currently used by the No. 51 car) was to be sold; LMC's attorney argued that the contract listed Charter 27 (which was leased to RFK Racing for the No. 60 car in 2025). RWR's attorney claimed that two weeks after the agreement was signed, LMC offered to pay RWR an additional {{USD}}5 million for Charter 27 for 2026. RFK has an agreement to lease Charter 36 in 2026, as teams are allowed to lease charters once every seven years.{{cite web |url=https://www.jayski.com/2025/04/30/legacy-motor-club-suing-rick-ware-racing-over-charter-sale/ |title=Legacy Motor Club suing Rick Ware Racing over charter sale UPDATES |website=Jayski's Silly Season Site |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media |date=April 30, 2025 |access-date=May 1, 2025}}

On January 11, 2023, Legacy Motor Club announced seven-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson will run with a part time schedule in 2023, starting with the 2023 Daytona 500 driving the No. 84 entry. The number is an inverse of Johnson's famous 48 car (still run by Johnson's long-time team Hendrick Motorsports). Johnson also chose the number due to him having 83 wins, and his goal to get one more, which would tie him with Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip for fourth all time. On February 14, Johnson made the entry field by scoring the fastest lap among the non-chartered teams.{{cite web |url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2023/02/15/cup-series-2023-daytona-500-qualifying-johnson-pastrana/ |title=Jimmie Johnson, Travis Pastrana seal Daytona 500 berths |first=Zack |last=Albert |website=NASCAR |date=February 15, 2023 |access-date=February 16, 2023}} He would finish 31st after wrecking out in the first overtime attempt on Lap 203.

On June 13, 2023, Toyota Racing Development President David Wilson said that Johnson would run another part-time schedule in 2024 when Legacy Motor Club switches from Chevrolet to Toyota at the end of the season, marking the first time that Johnson drive in a non-Chevrolet throughout his NASCAR career.{{Cite web |url=https://www.jayski.com/2023/06/15/trd-president-david-wilson-says-jimmie-johnson-will-run-a-toyota-in-2024/ |title=TRD president David Wilson says Jimmie Johnson will run a Toyota in 2024 |website=Jayski’s Silly Season Site |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media, LLC |date=June 15, 2023 |access-date=June 15, 2023 }} On September 6, Johnson also announced on NASCAR Race Hub that he would drive select races again in the No. 84 in 2024 and that a schedule should be released soon.
