NASCAR Rumors: Legacy Motor Club Could Add 3rd Charter with Haas Factory Merger

The NASCAR silly season hasn't delivered much movement in terms of drivers this year, with most of the top racers in the Cup Series under contract. However, plenty is happening with NASCAR teams, which could include a potential merger. The Instagram account nascarrumornostalgia, a well-known social media account for NASCAR rumors, passed along that multiple sources have said Legacy Motor Club could potentially buy into or merge with the Haas Factory Team. Related: 'I've heard from a couple people now that Legacy Motor Club could be looking into buying or merging with the Haas Factory Team. That could mean the 41 charter and the entire Haas racing shop as well. My own theory is that this might be a plan B if this Rick Ware Racing lawsuit doesn't go their way. Either way, sounds like LMC is in a serious hunt after a 3rd charter.' nascarrumornostalgia on a potential merger between the Haas Factory Team and Legacy Motor Club Legacy Motor Club is currently involved in two lawsuits with other teams. Earlier this season, the team sued Rick Ware Racing regarding a charter agreement dispute. LMC claims it is supposed to receive a charter from RWR under a signed Charter Purchase Agreement for 2026 and alleges RWR is trying to back out of the deal. Rick Ware, owner of RWR, has said the deal is for 2027. Last month, Ware agreed to sell RWR to T.J. Puchyr, former owner of Spire Motorsports. Legacy then filed a lawsuit against Puchyr for tortious interference, opposing his purchase of RWR. On Thursday, a North Carolina judge issued a temporary restraining order halting the sale. Read More: Legacy could be exploring a merger with the Haas Factory Team as another path to adding a charter if the legal battle doesn't go its way. If that were to happen, the No. 41 car driven by Cole Custer could be teamed up with the No. 42 car (John Hunter Nemechek) and the No. 43 car (Erik Jones). In this scenario, LMC would obtain the third charter it wants, while Haas would no longer need to run a one-car team in the Cup Series. Last year, Haas also reached a deal that enabled the return of Formula 1 to Toyota after a 15-year absence from the sport. This potential move could be the perfect pivot for Legacy if the saga with RWR does not play out favorably. If it happens, a third charter at LMC could potentially open up a Cup Series spot for Jesse Love next season.

Sam Mayer Captures First Xfinity Win for Haas Factory at Iowa, Snaps Chevy's 13-Race Win Streak

Sam Mayer secured his spot in the playoffs with a win at Iowa Speedway, rebounding after missing his pit box following the first stage on Saturday evening. With this win, Mayer brings the first trophy back to the new Haas Factory Team and ends Chevrolet's 13-race win streak. This was the first time that a Toyota won since Chandler Smith won the 2024 season finale at Phoenix. Mayer led for the first time on the final restart, taking the spot away from Jesse Love. Mayer was cruising to his victory over Love and the rest of the field when the yellow flag waved on the final lap with Garrett Smithley going around, ending the race under caution. Love, who spent most of the day in the top ten, struggled throughout the race with his racing setup. Connor Zilisch got out to an early lead in hopes of winning his fourth race in a row and was leading at the end of the first stage before a pit row issue buried him in the midpack. Zilisch had to go down pit row twice during the first stage break after the No. 88 pit crew failed to secure a tire on the first stop. Ross Chastain took the lead from Jesse Love in the second stage to lead 120 laps and ultimately finished third. JR Motorsports teammates Chastain, Zilisch, and Justin Allgaier were involved in a crash after a restart on lap 213, with the three getting tangled in turn one on lap 214, when a mistake by Zilisch sent Chastain into Allgaier. Zilisch appologized to his teammates after the race, and Chastain was happy to not be the aggressor in a teammate battle. "[He was] apologizing for hitting me into the No. 7," Chastain told The CW Sports." It was nice to not be the aggressor teammate." In the closing laps, Zilisch passed Harrison Burton for fourth as Burton settled for his second top five of the season.
