• A judge rejected Legacy Motor Club’s claim to buy Ware’s second charter, which remains leased to RFK Racing through 2026 and is set to return in 2027.
• Valuing charters at $75 million or more, Puchyr points to his role in reviving the market after buying a dormant Furniture Row charter in 2018.
• Puchyr has spent 2025 consulting with multiple teams and observing NASCAR’s charter disagreements, including antitrust suits involving 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports.
• He aims to acquire a third charter to complete a three-car Cup operation by 2027, a task complicated by soaring franchise prices.
