Joe Gibbs Racing has moved to satisfy one of the counterclaims brought against it by Spire Motorsports, issuing a payment in exchange for the services of car chief Cheddar Smith. According to the supplied material, the move does not entirely justify the claims made against Joe Gibbs Racing.
Spire Motorsports countersued Joe Gibbs Racing on June 25. The countersuit was brought in part over a disagreement regarding how Smith ended up on the No. 54 car with driver Ty Gibbs in the first place.
