A mid-season bombshell just dropped — Rick Ware Racing has been sold. And if you thought it might mean a total reboot, think again. Plus, the Tab Boyd spotter drama, charter wars heating up, and an update from Jeb and Ward Burton as they eye the Xfinity playoffs.

  • Why did spotter Tab Boyd vanish from Hyak Motorsports after a tweet, and how did he already land at Joe Gibbs Racing?
  • What does TJ Puchyr buying Rick Ware Racing mean for the team, and is it about winning, or flipping charters for millions?
  • With two charters in hand and one leased to RFK through 2026, how does this sale shake up Legacy Motor Club’s ongoing lawsuit?
  • And are we watching Rick Ware Racing’s rebirth… or just another business move dressed in Cup Series ambition?

TJ says he wants a three-car team. He’s keeping Cody Ware in the 51. He’s confident they’ll retain both charters. But is this really about building a contender… or holding out for a high-dollar sale? Eric’s take? Skeptical. And with charters limited and values skyrocketing, the real play here might be long-term profit, not checkered flags. Also, Jeb and Ward Burton stop by to talk Atlanta, Opti-Coat, and their friendly discount code rivalry. Jeb’s Xfinity push is alive and well, and if they stay clean and consistent, a deep playoff run might be in sight.
