John Hunter Nemechek's long-time sponsor returns for 14 races in 2025
Legacy Motor Club announced Pye-Barker Fire & Safety as the primary sponsor for John Hunter Nemechek's No. 42.
The 27-year-old has been with Pye-Barker since 2021. The fire protection company will sponsor 14 races for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series, up from seven last season. Their first race together will be at Circuit of the Americas on March 2.
"Pye-Barker has been a longtime supporter of mine throughout my racing career, dating back to my Truck Series days. I’m thrilled to continue with Pye-Barker at LEGACY MC. I hope to make everyone at Pye-Barker proud when I represent them both on and off the track," Nemechek said in a statement.
John Hunter Nemechek debuted in the 2019 Cup season with Front Row Motorsports and joined Jimmie Johnson's LMS last year after making one start for the team in 2023.
Last season, Nemechek also competed part-time in the Xfinity Series, where he has 11 wins, and shared Joe Gibbs Racing's No. 20 with Aric Almirola. He had a seventh-place finish at Daytona and won two races at Las Vegas and Nashville in 10 starts.
Meanwhile, he has just four top-10 finishes in the Cup Series. John Hunter Nemechek, who has no Xfinity races in his schedule this season, admitted missing racing in the series in a recent interview with Fox Sport's Bob Pockrass.
"For last year where we weren’t great every weekend in the Cup car. It definitely kept my confidence up when I would run the Xfinity car knowing that I could go out there and run top three and win races...At times I definitely wish that I was running some Xfinity races, but at the same time focusing on the Cup Series is priority number one for me," Nemechek said.
He added he finds the series more exciting compared to the tough challenges of the Cup Series.
