We are making a return run at the @ARCA_Racing owner’s title with the No. 28 and No. 77 team of drivers, plus a full championship push in the ARCA East Series with Carson Brown (No. 28) and Tristan McKee (No. 77)!
Sounds like framework of evergreen charters:
-2/3rds of teams need to OK renewal
-if don’t sign renewal, still chartered & get year or possibly more to sell charter
-if don’t meet certain performance standards, must sell but get time to sell
-nascar gets 10% of sale (was 2%)
Michael Jordan said that “level heads” led to the settlement this close to the finish line. Says at the end of the day, you have to think about the sport. He didn’t want to tear it down, and said Jim France didn’t want to either.
.@DennyHamlin in a statement: "I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished, and now it is time to move forward together and build the stronger future this sport deserves."
The jury pumped their fist as Judge Bell told them that the trial is over, following the settlement.
➡️ Bell said the result is "great for NASCAR the entity, for NASCAR the industry, teams, drivers and ultimately for the fans, so I'm very happy at this resolution."
ALERT:: Jeffrey Kessler tells the court: “I’m pleased to say the parties have positively settled this matter in a way that will benefit the industry going forward.”
Document will be presented to Judge Bell shortly. All items are agreed to, just waiting on typing final doc.
NEWS: SS-GreenLight Racing along with partners Beth and Randy Knighton of BRK Racing announce @GarrettSmithley will return to the team in 2026 in the renumbered No. 0 Chevrolet.

Phelps was asked by Kessler if he knew who Kurt Busch was after Phelps had touted the safety of the Next Gen car, and if Busch had retired due to a concussion.
➡️ Phelps acknowledged that but noted the car was designed to prevent fatalities + they later increased crumple zones.
