LEGACY MOTOR CLUB and Rick Ware Racing jointly announced today the teams have reached a resolution regarding the sale and transaction of a team charter.

“Reaching a positive outcome was important for everyone involved,” said LEGACY MOTOR CLUB owner Jimmie Johnson. “I truly respect the effort put forth by Robby Benton and Rick Ware to reach a settlement so we may all focus on our business operations and future goals. I’m glad this is behind us and we can all move forward in unison.”

“I met with both Jimmie (Johnson) and Cal Wells recently and we came to an agreement to sell and transfer a charter from RWR to LEGACY MOTOR CLUB,” said Rick Ware. “I believe we landed in a mutually beneficial place for both teams and the result will be a clear path forward for us all. I look forward to putting all of our focus on finishing the 2025 season strong.”

While the matter has been resolved amicably to the satisfaction of both parties, the terms of the settlement remain confidential.
