Carvana, Jimmie Johnson unveil San Diego-inspired No. 84 Toyota paint scheme.
For Johnson, a native of El Cajon, California, the San Diego race feels more like a homecoming. The paint scheme was designed as a visual autobiography with every detail of the livery drawing from a different chapter of his life, from skating at Mission Beach to seven NASCAR championships.
The car opens with jets and contrails streaking past the Carvana bug — a nod to the fighter jets Johnson watched ripping across the San Diego sky as a kid — with the names of his wife and daughters tucked inside the trails.
A Southern California sunset palette runs the length of the car, mimicking the iconic landscapes of the region. From there, the design moves through the places that shaped Jimmie: a replica of a motorcycle he raced at Barona Oaks, his home track and racing stomping grounds; a Ferris wheel that calls back to the Del Mar fairgrounds; palm trees and skateboarding for his days spent at Mission Beach; and his off-road truck with the signature orange lightning bolt that marked his early Chevrolet stadium and desert truck days.
Ghosted into the upper portion of the car is his high school alma mater, Granite Hills, alongside the San Diego skyline. Closer to the front, the iconic neon yellow he ran throughout his Hendrick Motorsports career makes a full-force return — a homage to his time in the No. 48 and the seven championships he won there.
The car also honors Johnson’s legacy of giving back with a “Foundation Lane” street sign — a tribute to the road in Elkhorn named after the Jimmie Johnson Foundation, where he and his team built an entire block of homes through Habitat for Humanity.
“Carvana and their design team have outdone themselves with this scheme; they’ve told my life story with this livery,” said Jimmie Johnson, seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and owner of LEGACY MOTOR CLUB. “Every detail captures a chapter of my life, my family, and my journey through NASCAR. Carvana has been an incredible partner, and I can’t wait to bring this car home to San Diego.”
“We wanted this car to reflect everything that makes San Diego so special to Jimmie,” said Ryan Keeton, Carvana co-founder and Chief Brand Officer. “From the jets over the coast to Foundation Lane, every element of this design carries real meaning. We’re proud to be part of this homecoming and are so excited to see Jimmie out on the track in his hometown.”
The Anduril 250 Race the Base NASCAR Cup Series street race will be held on the final day of the NASCAR San Diego Weekend June 19–21, 2026. For exclusive content, behind-the-scenes footage, and Jimmie’s first-person walkthrough of the design, follow @CarvanaRacing on Instagram and X.
