Legacy Motor Club has filed a lawsuit against Rick Ware Racing, alleging that RWR is attempting to back out of a signed agreement to sell a NASCAR charter. The lawsuit, filed in Mecklenburg County Superior Court, claims that the deal was for the 2026 season, while RWR contends that the agreement was for 2027. Legacy asserts that the charter transfer was finalized on March 3, 2025, and that it began seeking a third charter in October 2024. In response, Rick Ware Racing has described the lawsuit as a distortion of facts and a misguided attempt to tarnish their reputation. The majority of the lawsuit's details remain redacted, but it highlights a growing tension between the two NASCAR teams as Legacy seeks to solidify its competitive position in the league.
