Pye-Barker Fire & Safety Extends Partnership with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB

LEGACY MOTOR CLUB announced Tuesday that Pye-Barker Fire & Safety has extended its partnership with the team for the 2026 season.

Pye-Barker Fire & Safety will continue its presence on the LEGACY MOTOR CLUB No. 42 Toyota Camry driven by John Hunter Nemechek in the NASCAR Cup Series. The company will also maintain its status as the Official Fire Safety Partner of LEGACY MOTOR CLUB.

Pye-Barker is also expanding its involvement in hospitality, employee engagement programs, and community outreach. The brand will be featured as the primary paint scheme on the No. 42 for 14 races during the 2026 season.

“We are thrilled to have Pye-Barker Fire & Safety renew for next season,” said LEGACY MC co-owner Jimmie Johnson. “John Hunter and the No. 42 team are great representatives of the brand, and our collective goal is to put Pye-Barker back in victory lane.”

The partnership, which began in 2024, also includes expanded branding on team assets, activations at NASCAR Cup Series events, and further collaboration on content, employee and safety initiatives.

"This partnership with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB reflects the same values that guide our business every day – putting people first and building lasting relationships built on trust," said Bart Proctor, CEO of Pye-Barker Fire & Safety.

"We look for partners who genuinely care about their people and their community. LEGACY shares our commitment to excellence and appreciates the family culture that makes both our organizations successful. Together, we're able to connect with our team members, customers, and communities in ways that go far beyond business."

Nemechek is currently 23rd in the NASCAR Cup Serie standings, with one top-five and six top-10 finishes. Nemechek recorded a pair of sixth-place finishes in the Pye-Barker Fire & Safety Toyota at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez and Pocono Raceway earlier this year.
