Legacy Motor Club Shakes Up Crew Chief Lineup as Season Nears End

Legacy Motor Club has announced a significant change within its NASCAR Cup Series team, as CEO Cal Wells confirmed Tuesday that the organization has parted ways with Dave Elenz, the crew chief of the No. 43 car. Elenz, who has been with the team for the past three seasons, helped secure one win and 21 top-10 finishes alongside driver Erik Jones. Despite their collaboration, the move comes after Jones’ recent fifth-place finish at the YellaWood 500 in Talladega and with Jones currently sitting 30th in the championship standings.

The organization has already moved to fill the position, with Ben Beshore taking over as crew chief for the No. 43 team for the remaining five races of the Cup Series season. Beshore, who had been working with the No. 42 team and John Hunter Nemechek, will shift focus to Jones’s car in the hope of driving better results in the season’s final stretch.

With Beshore’s departure from the No. 42 car, Brian Campe, who was recently appointed as Legacy Motor Club’s technical director, will step in as interim crew chief for Nemechek. Nemechek currently sits 34th in the championship standings, highlighting the need for a fresh approach and strategy within the team as the season wraps up.

Legacy Motor Club, which formed through Maury Gallagher’s acquisition of Richard Petty Motorsports in 2022 and later evolved with the addition of NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson to the ownership group, has had mixed success since its rebranding. The team’s sole victory came in the 2022 Southern 500, and in its history of 356 starts, Legacy Motor Club has accumulated 104 top-10 finishes.

The leadership changes aim to inject new energy and expertise into the team’s operations as it strives for improved performance. With the season nearing its conclusion, Legacy Motor Club will be looking for its new crew lineup to spark momentum and lay the foundation for a more successful 2025 campaign.
