In November 2022, reports surfaced that the RTA considered holding exhibition races sanctioned by themselves instead of NASCAR. The proposal, fueled by the issue over money the teams received from television broadcasting rights, has resulted in concerns about a potential split similar to American open-wheel car racing experienced from 1996 to 2008, although a clause in the agreement with NASCAR and RTA (set to expire in 2024, coinciding with new television arrangements scheduling to take effect) prohibits the RTA from creating a competing racing series.
