CONCORD, N.C. -- Jimmie Johnson's ride is going to look a little different for the remainder of the season.
The seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion revealed Thursday he will pilot a white Ally Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE starting with Sunday's road-course event at Daytona International Speedway - a stark change from the usual black base.
Johnson and Ally Financial chief marketing officer Andrea Brimmer felt the No. 48 team would benefit from a championship-caliber reset as it pushes to make the playoffs this season. According to Johnson, the fresh look was inspired by calls from his longtime fans.
The revamped scheme's unveil won't be the only new item on the docket for this weekend's race. Sunday marks the first time a Cup Series points-paying event will take place at the DAYTONA Road Course. Johnson previously has raced at the road course for the Rolex 24, giving him a slight advantage over drivers who have never competitively driven there.
“I am so excited for this weekend at Daytona," Johnson said. "I have a lot of repetitions and a couple thousand miles on this track from in the seven Rolex races I’ve been able to compete in. I also did a July Fourth six-hour race there, so bring it on."
