https://www.jayski.com/2025/04/01/legacy-motor-club-suing-rick-ware-racing-over-charter-sale/ We have some charter drama. Looks like LMC has agreed to purchase a charter from Rick Ware Racing. RWR thought the deal would go into effect for 2027 and LMC says 2026. RWR claims that LMC changed the date without communicating that. So now, we're doing Silly Season speculation 1-2 years early. Legacy seems to be looking to move to a 3-car team.

Also, Sammy Smith has been fined 25K and 50 points for his actions Saturday.

I like Chase, but when I say I don't like Cup guys winning in the Xfinity Series, I don't just mean when people I don't like win.
