NASCAR silly season always puts on a show and this edition has not been any different. Josh Berry to Stewart-Haas Racing and Shane van Gisbergen to Trackhouse Racing top the list; however, there hasn’t been much charter movement due to the prices. Well, that could be coming to an end soon if the latest report is correct.
According to Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern, [autotag]Live Fast Motorsports[/autotag] has declined to comment on the industry-wide speculation that the organization could be selling its charter “soon.” Spire Motorsports is among the suitors and could use a third charter to field Zane Smith on a lease from Trackhouse Racing if he were to sign.

It was previously reported that Smith had been talking to Trackhouse Racing so this could be an indication that talks are becoming serious enough to where a charter sale is being considered. This will be something to keep an eye on as there has not been any charter movement in the NASCAR Cup Series since 2021.
