As an extension of the lawsuit from Legacy Motor Club to Rick Ware Racing over an alleged NASCAR Cup Series charter purchase renege, Legacy has now sued Spire Motorsports co-founder and former co-owner T.J. Puchyr and his consulting firm in Charlotte court.Legacy Motor Club, primarily owned by seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion driver Jimmie Johnson, contends that Puchyr, who had previously worked to broker a deal to purchase a Rick Ware Racing charter, then induced the latter to break out of that agreement. Since then, Puchyr himself has entered into an agreement with Rick Ware Racing to purchase the entire organization.The initial lawsuit saw Legacy sue the Ware organization over backing out of the agreement to sell a charter in advance of the 2026 season. Rick Ware Racing contends it was for the 2027 season.Read more: What is NASCAR's charter system and how it worksLegacy accused Rick Ware Racing of not consummating a deal despite having a signed agreement. Rick Ware Racing then countersued Legacy under the assertion that the former is trying assert ownership over a different charter than the one both parties agreed on.Rick Ware Racing owns two charters currently. One is loaned out to RFK Racing for this season for Ryan Preece and the No. 60. A charter can be loaned once per charter agreement period. The other charter is currently being used by RWR for its No. 51 car and driver Cody Ware. RWR will loan out its other charter to RFK after this season as part of a two-year agreement between the two teams.All involved were in court on Monday over a deposition after the deal between Puchyr and Ware. Legacy is concerned that RWR may expedite the transaction and sell its charters to Puchyr “under the cover of darkness” before this legal issue is remedied.In his Charlotte court room, Superior Court Judge Daniel A. Kuehnert warned RWR that there would be “really serious ramifications” if it sells after telling the court it did not plan to do so.Related: Why two Cup teams and NASCAR are suing each otherA heavily redacted Wednesday filing by Legacy argues that Puchyr convinced RWR to break its agreement with Legacy and in doing so, breached a brokerage agreement and trust in knowing the business of both parties.“Rather than advocate for Legacy and its reputation, Mr. Puchyr publicly maligned his client and exploited his position of trust and his knowledge of the parties' contract to apparently strike a backroom deal with the goal of depriving Legacy of the bargain that he helped put together.“Despite Mr. Puchyr's insider knowledge of the contract, his obligations under his consulting agreement with Legacy, Legacy's contractual right to charter, and RWR's representations to this court, Mr. Puchyr recently announced that he intends to purchase both of RWR's charters for himself. He declared to the press that, notwithstanding the active lawsuit between Legacy and RWR over resolving the terms of their deal, ‘there is no charter available from Ware for Legacy for either lease or purchase in 2026.’”Legacy argued in court on Monday that Puchyr engaged in conversation with team sponsors over the weekend at Sonoma Raceway.“Mr. Puchyr lacks any legitimate justification to purchase RWR and use its charter to leapfrog Legacy into the NASCAR Cup Series as new owner on the back of Legacy's prior and binding deal with Mr. Ware. That effort to use Legacy's charter to launch a three-car team for himself is both dishonest and unfair.”Overall, Legacy is suing Puchyr and his Rucus Racing LLC for tortious interference with contract, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage and over claims involving North Carolina’s Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
