The #1 NASCAR content creator on YouTube, Eric Estepp hosts Out of the Groove, a daily talk show covering news and trending topics in the NASCAR fan community.

In a wild, silly season twist, Legacy Motor Club is suing Rick Ware Racing over a charter transaction gone wrong. Also, NASCAR hammers Sammy Smith after Martinsville. Catch up on everything with Eric Estepp on Out Of The Groove.

  • If Legacy wins this lawsuit, they could expand to three full-time Cup cars in 2026. Are they ready for that step, or is this an uphill battle?
  • Rick Ware Racing’s charters are now at the center of multiple teams’ futures. Could this lawsuit push RWR out of the Cup Series entirely?
  • Over in the Xfinity Series, NASCAR just handed Sammy Smith a massive penalty for wrecking Taylor Gray. Did they get this one right, or was it too little, too late?

Should NASCAR start enforcing these kinds of penalties during the race instead of waiting days to announce them? Would that improve the fan experience? Let Eric know all of your thoughts and questions in the comment section
