Alexander joins Legacy Motor Club as Jones's crew chief

Legacy Motor Club has added Justin Alexander to its program as the crew chief for Erik Jones and the No. 43 Toyota team, beginning this season.

Alexander most recently worked at Richard Childress Racing, where he served as Austin Dillon's crew chief for three of the last four seasons. Across 270 starts as a crew chief in the NASCAR Cup Series, Alexander won five races and worked with multiple drivers.

He takes on the role previously held by Ben Beshore.

“We’re continuing to evolve and refine every part of our race program, and Justin is a tremendous addition to our crew chief lineup,” said Jimmie Johnson, owner of Legacy Motor Club. “His experience, communication style, and leadership align perfectly with the direction we’re headed. We appreciate Ben’s hard work and look forward to his continued contributions as he transitions into his new role.”

Beshore was paired with Jones at the end of the 2024 season. In 2025, the two earned five top-10 finishes and four top-five finishes, finishing 24th in the championship standings.

Legacy Motor Club will transition Beshore to director of race engineering.

“Justin is a proven race winner, and we believe there’s the potential for a strong chemistry with Erik,” said Cal Wells III, Chief Executive Officer of Legacy Motor Club. “We’ll also have Ben raising all ships with the performance engineering group. With all these changes, we’re hoping to continue the growth we saw in 2025.”

Additionally, the organization announced that Scott Roggenbauer has moved to chief operating officer after serving as chief financial officer. He joined Legacy Motor Club in 2025.
