In a dramatic turn of events, the Legacy Motor Club has scored a major victory against Rick Ware Racing, securing a restraining order in a legal battle over the sale of a charter. The order, granted by the court, has effectively halted Rick Ware Racing’s ability to make any moves related to the contentious charter for the next 10 days, or until a resolution is reached between the feuding parties.
The court order, issued with the consent of Rick Ware Racing LLC, is a significant development in the ongoing dispute between the two entities. Legacy Motor Club’s legal action stems from allegations that Rick Ware Racing reneged on a deal to sell a charter intended for the 2026 season. The lawsuit accuses Ware of modifying a contract, originally thought to be for the 2027 season, without consent.
With the potential purchase of an additional charter, Legacy Motor Club aims to expand its presence in the NASCAR Cup Series to three entries. Rick Ware Racing currently holds two charters, with one in use by Cody Ware and the No. 51 team, and the other leased to RFK Racing.
The legal showdown between Legacy Motor Club and Rick Ware Racing underscores the high-stakes nature of NASCAR team operations and charter ownership. As the courtroom saga unfolds, both sides are gearing up for a fierce battle to protect their interests and secure their positions in the competitive world of NASCAR racing.
