Denny Hamlin and 23XI Racing's bold statement leaves them on a bit of an island as the majority of teams signed NASCAR's new charter deal on Friday night.
At the Southern 500 Cup Series race last weekend, 23XI Racing investor Curtis Polk wore a curious sign on his back, which read:'Please don't ask me about my Charter. I don't want to disparage NASCAR and lose it.' Polk's message was a shot at the anti-disparagement clause that could become part of the new deal. “Yeah, it’s a threat,' said Hamlin when asked about potential clause. 'That’s if you speak negatively.
23XI's position, as stated in a letter to NASCAR, is that we did not have an opportunity to fairly bargain for a new Charter contract. We notified NASCAR what issues needed to be addressed, in writing, at the deadline. 'We are interested in engaging in constructive discussions with NASCAR to address these issues and move forward in a way that comes to a fair resolution, while strengthening the sport we all love.
