Shortly after the eventful Wurth 400, owing to their disappointing performance throughout the 2023 season, the owner announced a rather shocker when he gave the news of the team parting ways with Chevrolet and joining Toyota for their 2024 season.

Despite being the poster boy for Chevy in NASCAR for about two years, Johnson moved on with the change because of an awful 2023 season. As the drivers, Noah Gragson, and Erik Jones could manage only two 2 top-10 positions so far in this season, many fans felt the decision was a much-needed one.

On the other hand, the tweet gathered numerous fan comments, some siding with Griffin, while others taking a dig at him.

“Come on @JimmieJohnson, we need you on #DBC @DirtyMoMedia”

Some fans wanted to see the team name changed to something rather fresh and ideal.

“Nah for once Brett Griffin hit the nail on the head here, I’m not calling a race team a “Motor Club” I’m sorry Jimmie.”

“I’m with you Brett.  I always say “Motorsports”. 

“Legacy Motor Club” sounds like a vintage car club.”

A fan roasted Griffin, “Expecting Brett Griffin to get anything right is asking way too much.”

Another ardent fan wrote, “It’s your team so you and the King get to choose the name.  Legacy Motor Club it is.  Standing behind you and your choice of manufacturer .  Go Jimmie!”
