Mack to crew chief for Nemechek at Legacy Motor Club

Legacy Motor Club has hired Travis Mack to serve as crew chief of the No. 42 team with John Hunter Nemechek next season. Mack will work alongside Ben Beshore and the No. 43 team. Beshore had overseen Nemechek’s effort but was paired with Erik Jones before the conclusion of the 2024 season.

Most recently, Mack worked for Trackhouse Racing and Kaulig Racing. Mack served as crew chief for Kaulig’s No. 16 team in the Cup Series, working with a variety of drivers. He also was the team’s technical director.

“I’m looking forward to helping Legacy Motor Club build something great,” said Mack. “There are a lot of talented people here at Legacy M.C. I worked with Jimmie (Johnson) at Hendrick Motorsports, and I know his work ethic and determination -- so his vision for the Club is really exciting, and I’m ready to get to work.”

At the Cup Series level, Mack has called 156 races with one win. He guided Daniel Suarez to his first career victory at Sonoma Raceway in 2022.

“Travis is a welcome addition to Legacy Motor Club,” said Jacob Canter, SVP, Sporting Director for Legacy Motor Club. “As we continue to make changes and evolve on the competition side, the goal is to place the right people in the right places. That will take some time, but we are thrilled to have a talent like Travis on board and can’t wait to see what he, Ben and the rest of the engineering team can accomplish over this short off-season.”
