Petty Blue returns to Daytona International Speedway
Jimmie Johnson’s No. 84 Toyota has a new look for the upcoming Daytona 500. The blue paint scheme tributes the Petty family during their 75th year in racing.

The ‘Petty Blue’ paint scheme resembles the Chrysler Plymouth Petty drove to victory lane in the 1964 Daytona 500. The car was designed by Johnson himself as well as Carvana. Chrome accents and white lettering match the car from 1964.
Johnson has nine races scheduled for 2024. He’s set to run his first season in a Toyota.

“The honor of my recent NASCAR Hall of Fame induction has given me time to reflect on my racing career that spans more than 21 years, and on the people that have been pivotal to my journey both on and off the track,” said Johnson.
He added, “My relationship with Richard, Kyle and the whole Petty family is so meaningful to me and my goal was to celebrate their enduring LEGACY with this design.”

“Our Petty Blue-inspired paint scheme is not merely a tribute, but a statement of our respect and admiration for the Petty family and their significant contributions to racing over the past 75 years,” said Ryan Keeton, Carvana Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer.
He concluded, “The close collaboration with Jimmie and LEGACY MOTOR CLUB has allowed us to create a design that not only resonates with the rich history of the sport, but also aligns with Carvana’s innovative spirit.”
