The name replaces Petty GMS, which is what the two-car Cup team was called last year when Maury Gallagher became the primary owner of Richard Petty’s organization. Johnson in November bought into the ownership group, and with two of NASCAR’s seven-time champions part of the team, the name change was fitting.
