The NASCAR Cup Series has seen several new ownership groups over the last several years, such as 23XI Racing, Trackhouse Racing, and Kaulig Racing. Most current NASCAR ownership groups have been in place for several years; however, one organization could see a significant change heading into the 2025 season.
According to Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern, [autotag]JTG Daugherty Racing[/autotag] could undergo ownership changes as Kroger, the main sponsor of the No. 47 car, has been rumored to leave the team after 2024. Most notably, Joe Gibbs Racing has been labeled as a possible destination for Kroger. This comes as Tad Geschickter, a co-owner for JTG Daugherty Racing, helps Joe Gibbs Racing sell sponsorship.
This would be a major loss for JTG Daugherty Racing, as Kroger and Geschickter have been two cornerstones of the organization for years. In this scenario, Geschickter could bring Kroger to the Toyota-based organization while leaving JTG Daugherty Racing in the dust. It will be fascinating to see how this plays out for the 2022 Daytona 500 champions.
