For his final NASCAR Cup Series race, the 2027 Daytona 500 , Jimmie Johnson will use the car number he enjoyed so much success with at Hendrick Motorsports — No. 48.

“This is far more than a number,” Johnson said in a news release. “The 48 represents people, relationships, memories and a chapter of my life that shaped who I am.
