Jimmie Johnson's time in the NASCAR Cup Series is coming to an end. Johnson only has two races left in his Cup Series career, with the next coming in San Diego this summer. The seven-time Cup Series champion's final start will be the 2027 Daytona 500, and he has revealed the car number he will drive in a shocking move.

Johnson will drive the No. 13 Toyota for Legacy Motor Club in the 2027 Daytona 500, the driver announced on Stacking Pennies. The Legacy Motor Club owner says the No. 13 holds a special meaning to his partner, Knighthead Capital. The number also has significance to Johnson, who won his first Cup Series race in his 13th start.

This is a shocking development, as Johnson has run the No. 48 car and No. 84 car for most of his Cup Series career. It will be Johnson's first and last start with the No. 13 car in the 2027 Daytona 500. It will be an emotional week for Johnson and NASCAR, but it won't be in the No. 84 car in the Great American Race.
