Johnson, who has burned through every one of the 686 of his Cup Series begins once again the course of 20 seasons in the driver's seat of the No. 48 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, is set to drive the No. 84 Chevrolet in select races all through the forthcoming 36-race crusade. Johnson at first endorsed to vie for Insignificant GMS Motorsports, which likewise reported that he had turned into another co-proprietor of the group. Since remembering his name for the group's name would have been "cumbersome and ungainly", the group picked to rebrand as Heritage Engine Club.

The utilization of the No. 84 appeared to be legit for two key reasons. As a matter of some importance, it is what you get in the event that you switch the digits in No. 48, and furthermore, Johnson has been perched on 83 profession Cup Series triumphs since June 2017.

Erik Jones is set to return for a third year with the association in the driver's seat of the No. 43 Chevrolet, while tenderfoot Noah Gragson is set to supplant Ty Dillon in the driver's seat of the No. 42 Chevrolet.

Not since the 2011 as Xat members shared NASCAR Cup Series season has anyone driven a vehicle with the number No. 84.

The No. 84 has just been run in 223 races from its presentation in 1951 to the 2011 season finale. A.J. Allmendinger drives all drivers with 38 beginnings in the driver's seat of a No. 84 vehicle, having driven the No. 84 Toyota for Group Red Bull in 2007 and 2008.

Following the 2008 season, the main driver to drive the No. 84 vehicle additionally drove for Group Red Bull, yet he just contended in two races. That driver, Cole Whitt, directed the No. 84 Toyota in the 2011 season's last two races at Phoenix Raceway and Residence Miami Speedway.

A sum of 59 drivers have at any point invested energy in the driver's seat of a No. 84 vehicle.

NASCAR: Martin Truex Jr. to Stewart-Haas Racing?

Without an agreement to contend past the 2023 NASCAR 원엑스벳 Cup Series season, Martin Truex Jr. faces an unsure future. Is Stewart-Haas Racing a choice?

Martin Truex Jr. is set to enter the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season essentially the same way he entered the 2022 season: without an arrangement to contend the next year. The 2023 season is set to be Truex's eighteenth season as a full-time Cup Series driver and his fifth in the driver's seat of the No. 19 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Early last season, he indicated that he might choose to resign after the 2022 season, repeating what he had expressed before about contending in light of the fact that he loves to contend and feels he is cutthroat, rather than contending on the grounds that he believes he really wants to.

While his choice stunned some, he at last chose to return for one more year in 2023. He was very quickly inquired as to whether he had pondered 2024, and he basically expressed that he hadn't, as it had taken him around a half year just to settle on 2023.

Presently we are right here, approaching the beginning of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season, and a similar inquiry is beginning to be posed: will Martin Truex Jr. be back the following year?

Truex entered the 2022 season having succeeded finally four races in five of the last six seasons, and in four of those five seasons, he made it into the Title 4. He brought home the 2017 title and wrapped sprinter up in the standings on the other three events.

So the 2022 season, the first with the Gen 7 vehicle, was a baffling one for Truex, who put no higher than fourth the entire season, finishing a seven-year 윈윈벳 win streak, and missed the end of the season games interestingly beginning around 2014.

While many accept that Truex will either get back to Joe Gibbs Racing in 2024 or resign after 2023, could Stewart-Haas Racing be a choice to consider?

There had been a ton of ongoing hypothesis about what Kevin Harvick's future could hold. At 47 years of age, he is the most seasoned full-time driver in the game, and he has been contending full-time beginning around 2001. He doesn't have an agreement to contend past 2023, and he even conceded about a year prior that his underlying arrangement was resign when the 2021 season finished.

Late bits of gossip about Harvick's potential retirement arose after a "4ever" was seen on his fire suit for the impending season in an Instagram post that has since been erased. A few sources revealed that a retirement declaration was to be sure inescapable, and he later affirmed those reports, declaring his arrangements to move back from the Cup Series after 2023.

Some would contend that supplanting Harvick with Truex is a senseless move on the grounds that Truex is definitely not a drawn out reply. Yet, while Truex is likewise a quadragenarian, he is additionally five years more youthful than Harvick at 42, and to continue to contend, maybe he feels that he has a couple of years left in him.

Keeping up with the veteran presence of a previous boss in Stewart-Haas Racing's driver setup likewise appears to have a greater number of geniuses than cons, particularly taking into account the association has battled over the last two or more seasons.

In any case, could Truex truly think about exchanging groups if he somehow managed to remain in the Cup Series?

Perhaps, perhaps not, yet check Kyle Busch out. Who might have believed that he could leave Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota following 15 years to rejoin with Chevrolet and join Richard Childress Racing? GET MORE INFO 

In light of everything, Busch, who once expressed that he didn't figure he would have the option to land another ride if another Joe Gibbs Racing bargain didn't come through, required a difference in view. Furthermore, he got it in what was viewed as the greatest free specialist marking somewhat recently and a half.

Could Truex not be guaranteed to want to resign yet to begin new, particularly in the event that his 2023 season is however disheartening as his 2022 season seemed to be?

The other enormous benefit here — conceivably the main benefit nowadays, taking into account the entire Busch circumstance with Joe Gibbs Racing — is sponsorship. Bass Genius Shops has for quite some time been a devoted essential patron of Truex, and they likewise have a long history with Stewart-Haas Racing co-proprietor Tony Stewart.
