Jimmie Johnson is back in the Daytona 500 after qualifying for "The Great American Race" on Wednesday, and he's sporting a new look for 2025. The NASCAR great's No. 84 car, sponsored by Carvana, comes with a custom Shaquille O'Neal-themed paint job.

Also locking into the field was 2017 Cup champion Martin Truex Jr., who is racing the No. 56 Toyota for TRICON Garage after stepping back from racing full time in 2025. He turned the fastest lap of the open cars at 181.302 mph, ensuring TRICON’s Cup debut.

Johnson won 83 NASCAR races and a record-equaling seven season championships during 19 seasons as a full-time NASCAR driver. Since he last competed as a regular in 2020, Johnson spent two seasons driving on the IndyCar tour before becoming part of the Legacy Motor Club ownership team in 2023.
