The organization within recent years has also overseen expansion, including the purchase of a motorsports news site along with a now-defunct NASCAR esports league.

[11] On February 9, 2016, a week before the 2016 Daytona 500, the RTA and NASCAR announced the implementation of the charter system,[12] which sought to cut costs and increase profits for teams.

In addition, the NASCAR Cup Series field was limited to 40 cars and a team owner's council was formed.

[20] In January 2018, Sports Business Journal's Adam Stern reported that the RTA and NASCAR were collaborating on creating an esports league on iRacing, an online racing simulation video game.

[27] The next month, the RTA stated that they were exploring the idea of holding exhibition events that were not sanctioned by NASCAR in response to "struggling to turn a profit... thus forcing them to investigate other sources of revenue".

[29][30] By April 2023, the RTA and its members were boycotting quarterly meetings with NASCAR, stating further displeasure with the revenue sharing system.

[32] Part-stakeholder in 23XI Racing, Denny Hamlin, declared that making charters permanent would protect investors and give "security" to their investments to a team.

[33] By February 2024, the RTA hired an antitrust lawyer, along with Hendrick Motorsports' vice chairman Jeff Gordon claiming that the team, despite being one of the most successful, had not made a profit within the last decade.

[35] On December 18, a judge granted a preliminary injunction that ensured both 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports would continue to compete as chartered teams in 2025.

[40] Driver Tony Stewart gave comments of praise to the RTA's willingness to collaborate with NASCAR in an interview in July 2015.

[43] In 2023, Sportcasting's John Moriello declared that removing the system would "diminish the value of teams faster than cryptocurrencies can devour a retirement nest egg", repelling potential investors.

[45] When Germain Racing sold its charter and announced that it would be closing in 2020, the driver at the time, Ty Dillon, stated that he believed that the charter system had made it difficult for single-car teams who had not been "at the top level of the sport or [had] an incredible amount of money to leapfrog into the top spot".
