Legacy Motor Club, Rick Ware Racing settle NASCAR charter lawsuit

Legacy Motor Club and Rick Ware Racing have reached a confidential settlement resolving their lawsuit and countersuit over the sale and transfer of a NASCAR Cup Series charter. The dispute involved a previously agreed upon but unconsummated charter sale, with disagreements about which charter was being sold and the timing relative to leasing arrangements with RFK Racing. Legacy Motor Club, owned by Jimmie Johnson, sought to expand to a three-car team, while Rick Ware Racing owns two charters, leasing one to RFK Racing for the 2025 season. Both teams expressed mutual respect and a desire to focus on their future business operations and the remainder of the 2025 season. The settlement clears the way for Legacy to potentially expand its charter holdings, but specific terms remain confidential. RFK Racing's involvement in the settlement has not been publicly detailed.
