Lowe’s has sparked excitement among NASCAR fans after posting a cryptic message directed at Carvana Racing, fueling speculation about a possible tribute to seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson ahead of what is expected to be his final Daytona 500 appearance.
The verified Lowe’s account posted:
“@CarvanaRacing need an ally for a last ride? Check your DMs 🏁”
The message appears to reference Johnson’s farewell Daytona 500 effort. Carvana has been Johnson’s primary partner since his return to NASCAR and continues to sponsor his No. 84 Toyota for LEGACY MOTOR CLUB. Johnson has also publicly acknowledged that a reunion with Lowe’s for his final Daytona 500 would have been meaningful, though he indicated it was unlikely to happen.
A Full-Circle Moment
For NASCAR fans, Lowe’s and Jimmie Johnson are inseparable. The home improvement retailer sponsored Johnson throughout his championship years with Hendrick Motorsports, a partnership that produced:
- Seven NASCAR Cup Series championships
- 83 Cup Series victories
- Two Daytona 500 wins
- One of the most iconic sponsor-driver relationships in NASCAR history
Although Lowe’s left NASCAR after the 2018 season, the brand remains closely associated with Johnson’s legendary No. 48 Chevrolet.
Fans Hope for One More Reunion
The tweet has prompted fans to wonder whether Lowe’s could play a role in Johnson’s farewell Daytona 500, whether through a special activation, commemorative partnership, or tribute alongside Carvana. While no official details have been announced, the message’s “last ride” wording has fueled hopes of seeing the two longtime partners reconnect one final time.
Whether the tweet leads to a collaboration or is simply a gesture of appreciation, it serves as a reminder of one of NASCAR’s most memorable partnerships, and the lasting legacy Jimmie Johnson and Lowe’s built together on the sport’s biggest stages.
