Jimmie Johnson thought Legacy Motor Club had a win in a Daytona duel race, but the button doesn’t lie. Johnson gives his perspective on the ending of the duel race and Erik Jones being so close before going into an in-depth conversation about now being the organization's majority owner. Johnson breaks down the progress of the team and working through getting everything in place with Toyota, as well as being self-sufficient with processes in-house; choosing to go without an alliance partner; the type of owner Johnson wants to be; becoming comfortable as a leader of hundreds; the approach to being present as a team owner; finding opportunity for Legacy while living in England; the reason why racing expansion for Legacy Motor Club is in the plans; shooting down the Indianapolis 500 rumor but if that race would be one to look at in the future; things Johnson better understands about racing now as an owner; ways that he’s been challenged and has challenged himself the last few years; learning a different side of the patience game; becoming comfortable communicating with NASCAR as an owner; closely monitoring the 23XI Racing, Front Row Motorsports and NASCAR lawsuit; understanding the Open Exemption Provisional; being in the team owner space with some of his former rivals; the reason Johnson will only contest two races this year and if the end of his driving career is over; hearing the critics about his current driving career, and how the performance changed his expectations; if the end of his driving career is approaching; balancing ownership, family, and starting his own podcast.
