'The way NASCAR is run today is unfair to teams, drivers, sponsors and fans,' said 23XI Racing co-owners Michael Jordan, Denny Hamlin, and Curtis Polk.
On Wednesday morning, two NASCAR teams — Front Row Motorsports and 23XI — filed a joint antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR accusing the sport's governing body, run by the dynastic France family, of 'anti-competitive and monopolistic control of the sport.' Both teams had publicly stated issues with NASCAR's new charter agreement, which both teams refused to sign. This jointly-filed lawsuit is an escalation after months of back-and-forth between the teams and NASCAR leadership.
The lengthy release detailed their next move as well: 'In the coming days, we will file a preliminary injunction to enable our teams to race in the next calendar year under the 2025 charter agreement, while continuing to pursue our antitrust litigation. The filing will seek discovery from both NASCAR and Jim France related to their exclusionary practices and intent to insulate themselves from any competition.
