LEGACY MOTOR CLUB has tapped motorsports veteran and long-time crew chief Chad Johnston to join the organization as Manager of Race Engineering.

In this role, which begins immediately, Johnston will be focused on leading the organization’s engineering department, which is led by Brian Campe and Jacob Canter.

“Chad is a great hire for us at LEGACY MOTOR CLUB,” said Technical Director, Brian Campe. “His decades of experience and extensive knowledge will make him a huge benefit to the CLUB. We have a lot of work to do this off-season and Chad’s expertise will help us accomplish our goals.”

Throughout his motorsports career, which has spanned more than two decades, the Cayuga, Indiana-native has worked at several prominent organizations including Chip Ganassi Racing, Gillett Evernham Motorsports, JTG Daugherty Racing, Michael Waltrip Racing, Morgan-Dollar Motorsports, and most-recently Stewart-Haas Racing.

In his 13 seasons as crew chief in the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, Johnston has more than 400 races under his belt, scoring seven victories in the NASCAR Cup Series, and one in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

Over the last two years, Johnston has been working with Ryan Preece as the crew chief of the No. 41 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, in which time the driver crew-chief combination has scored two top-five and seven top-10 finishes.

“I am excited to join LEGACY MOTOR CLUB and start a new journey in my career and am thankful to Maury (Gallagher), Jimmie (Johnson), and Cal (Wells III) for this opportunity,” said Johnston. “I look forward to the challenges ahead and hope with my experience and knowledge I can help build LEGACY M.C. into a top-tier winning organization.”
