![]() “I think the teams’ ask has been very legitimate and not off in left field,” Hamlin said. The winner of Saturday’s race at Bristol is co-owner along with Michael Jordan of 23XI Racing but he directed all labor questions to NASCAR Chairman Jim France. The charters are currently renewable and revocable, and NASCAR seems unwilling to compromise on the issue.ĭenny Hamlin three weeks ago said talks between the teams and NASCAR were terrible. A major ask remains the teams’ desire for charters to become permanent. ![]() The charter maneuvering comes as NASCAR and its teams are in a labor battle of sorts, with the latter calling for a better revenue model. “That’s not to say there isn’t work to be done with NASCAR and the charter agreement, but I think we believe in all the people in the garage and all the people in the NASCAR.” “We’ve proven and come through in each of those circumstances that is certainly a double-down on the future of the sport,” he said. He praised Spire owners Jeff Dickerson and TJ Puchyr for the deal with Trackhouse, which Anthony said is consistent with their ambitions. “I think if you look down the list of organizations in the Cup Series, you’d be hard pressed to find any that are more transparent about their ambitions and intentions than these two organizations,” Spire President Bill Anthony said of Trackhouse and Spire. Spire has single-handedly jumpstarted the charter market and driven up the value of the franchise tag. When Kaulig Racing moved from an Xfinity Series team to a Cup team, it bought a pair of charters from Spire. When Trackhouse owner Justin Marks got into ownership, Spire leased the team its first charter. There’s no doubt that Trackhouse is making bold moves, but none of it would be possible without Spire. ![]() It also will certainly get some of that Trackhouse money the team in one week signed the deal with Smith and a development deal with Shane van Gisbergen out of New Zealand. And Spire? Well, it will have an overhauled three-car lineup next season that includes recently extended Corey Lajoie.
