There are a few familiar elements to Johnson’s newly unveiled firesuit. For instance, financial holding company Ally makes its way to the all-blue suit, and has been a long-time associate of the seven-time Cup Series champion.

In addition, the #48 is something he will continue with in the upcoming season too. The different aspects come in the form of the team’s engine provider Honda’s logo, as well as the main crest of Carvana Racing occupying the centerpiece of his firesuit.
