Predicting Legacy Motor Club's driver lineup for 2027 Cup season

A prediction for Legacy Motor Club’s 2027 NASCAR Cup Series lineup points to established drivers and a likely replacement in the No. 84 car. As the 2026 season progresses, Erik Jones is described as a near-certain return for 2027 due to his speed, while John Hunter Nemechek is expected to be in the No. 42. The question is who will race full-time in the No. 84, and Motorsports Wire forecasts Riley Herbst for that seat next season. The article says Legacy Motor Club will have a third charter, and while Jesse Love was considered, Herbst is projected to be the driver. It links the choice to Herbst’s improvement versus his rookie season with 23XI Racing, while noting the organization has already begun announcing sponsors and paint schemes for 2027.
