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.
