Yet one set of texts stands out, aimed at a hall-of-fame figure, and this might threaten to divide the NASCAR community even more. Richard Childress, who started his NASCAR team in 1969 and snagged six Cup titles with drivers like Dale Earnhardt, helped the sport become a household name during the 80s and 90s era.

Tifft pointed out the income sources of Childress other than from NASCAR, like a prominent winery named Childress Vineyards in Lexington, North Carolina. The team owner also has an engine shop named ECR Engine, which is a high-performance engine production company located on the Richard Childress Racing campus'in Welcome, North Carolina.

12+ hour, 14+ min ago (636+ words) Nov 24, 2025 | 5:30 PM EST Tensions in NASCAR's antitrust lawsuit have boiled over as it heads to trial on December 1 without a settlement in sight. And to add to the adversity, leaked internal texts from NASCAR's top executives have exposed their raw disdain for smaller teams by painting them as burdens rather than partners in the sport's growth. Matt Tifft, driver and former team owner,didn't hold back in a raw YouTube breakdown of the 2022 texts targeting his old team, Live Fast Motorsports. The team was formed in 2021 with B. J. McLeod after Tifft's racing career stalled from a brain tumor in 2019. The team survived on minimum resources with just 12 workers and millions in personal loans to field a Cup car.

13+ hour, 3+ min ago (863+ words) Nov 24, 2025 | 4:41 PM EST Money talks, and when some of it comes from Michael Jordan, people listen. There has been a lot of curiosity around how deeply MJ is involved in his NASCAR venture, especially with 23XI Racing. Fans have long wondered what kind of financial muscle he and Denny Hamlin are bringing to the table, and today's questions feel bigger than ever. Legal filings and internal communications are shedding light on how 23XI was built, not just with speed on the track, but with deals in the boardroom. If some of what's leaking from emails and depositions is true, then this team is a lot more than a passion project. It's been very strategic, very tightly financed, and with stakes that go well beyond just running cars on Sundays. Here's the big reveal: according to notes shared by Bob Pockrass, Michael Jordan…...

13+ hour, 27+ min ago (633+ words) Nov 24, 2025 | 4:17 PM EST In NASCAR, teams don't just get better by accident. They grow because people inside those shops put in the work, engineers buried in data, young drivers running laps at tiny short tracks, and owners willing to gamble when everyone else plays it safe. Over the last few years, you could feel that shift happening. Smaller teams started taking bigger swings, partnering with manufacturers, investing in development, and trying to build something that lasts. And now, one of the biggest behind-the-scenes moves has finally gone public. It's a deal that could reshape the lower-series landscape heading into 2026. Sigma Performance Services Racing just made a massive play: they've fully bought out AM Racing and merged everything into one operation with full Ford Racing backing. Starting next season, the combined group will run under one name, SPS Racing, and they're…...
