“We are thrilled to have Pye-Barker Fire & Safety renew for next season,” said Jimmie Johnson, majority owner of LEGACY MOTOR CLUB. “John Hunter [Nemechek] and the No. 42 team are great representatives of the brand, and our collective goal is to put Pye-Barker back in Victory Lane.”
The extended partnership includes expanding branding on team assets, enhanced activations at select NASCAR Cup Series events, and continued collaboration on content, employee, and safety initiatives. The company first joined LEGACY MOTOR CLUB in 2024, and has been a loyal partner ever since.
“This partnership with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB reflects the same values that guide our business every day – putting people first and building lasting relationships built on trust,” said Bart Proctor, CEO of Pye-Barker Fire & Safety. “We look for partners who genuinely care about their people and their community. LEGACY shares our commitment to excellence and appreciates that family culture that makes both our organizations successful. Together, we’re able to connect with our team members, customers, and communities in ways that go far beyond business.”
Since moving to LEGACY MOTOR CLUB with John Hunter Nemechek in 2024, the sponsor has been a part of three top-10 finishes, including a pair of sixth-place results earlier this season at Mexico City and Pocono. The company also partnered with Nemechek in the NASCAR Xfinity Series (2024, 2023) and NASCAR Truck Series (2021, 2022).
“Having Pye-Barker Fire & Safety back with us for another year is a huge win for our team,” said Nemechek, driver of the No. 42 Pye-Barker Toyota Camry XSE. “Their values of service, trust, and care for their team and communities line up perfectly with what we’re building here. We’re looking forward to another year of growing together, both on and off the track. I’m looking forward to representing them in 14 races next year and hopefully taking them to Victory Lane again.”
Pye Barker Fire & Safety will be featured on the No. 42 Toyota Camry XSE in Saturday’s NASCAR Cup Series event at Richmond Raceway, where Nemechek will attempt to make an effort to clinch a spot in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.
