Legacy Motor Club announced that Josh Berry will drive the No. 42 Toyota for the 2027 NASCAR Cup season. Berry joins a lineup that includes Erik Jones in the No. 43 and Riley Herbst in the No. 84. This addition is part of a broader expansion for the team, which will operate three full-time entries next year. The move follows the confirmation last week that the team is parting ways with John Hunter Nemechek. Berry was previously driving for the Wood Brothers before this transition. Legacy Motor Club continues to restructure its driver roster as it moves toward the 2027 campaign with an increased presence on the track.
