Jimmie Johnson’s LMC Obtains a Restraining Order in Rick Ware Racing Charter Dispute

What’s Happening?

In the latest development in the Lawsuit between Jimmie Johnson’s Legacy Motor Club and Rick Ware Racing, Legacy has obtained a temporary restraining order.

• Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports reports this temporary restraining order prevents RWR from leasing or selling the charter “for at least 10 days or until agreement by Legacy and RWR.”
• Legacy sued RWR on April 1, claiming that the Ford team, which owns two NASCAR Cup Series Charters, “wants to back out” of selling a Charter to Legacy. According to subsequent reports, RWR claims they were under the impression the sale would be for the 2027 season, while Legacy claims it would be for the 2026 season.
• On Tuesday, news broke from the Dale Jr Download that Legacy had agreed to purchase this Charter for a record-high $45 million, breaking the $40 million mark set by Spire Motorsports after the 2023 season. No matter the result of this lawsuit, it looks like RWR is set for a major payday.
• Legacy currently owns two Charters, both of which were leased by RWR in the past. RWR also currently owns two Charters. However, the team leases one to RFK Racing while entering the other at No. 51.
