Ben Lovett, founding member of the British folk-rock band Mumford & Sons, has become part of NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson's racing legacy, according to a Forbes report by contributor Bruce Martin published on November 4, 2026.

Details of the partnership between the musician and the seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion were not disclosed in the initial announcement. Lovett was photographed performing at the Waldbühne in Berlin, Germany, on July 9, 2026, months before the news emerged.

The collaboration marks a notable crossover between the music industry and American stock car racing, though specific terms of Lovett's involvement with Johnson's racing endeavors remain unclear.
