Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports are taking NASCAR to federal court Monday over antitrust allegations. The lawsuit claims NASCAR holds a monopoly over the sport, with 23XI and Front Row refusing to sign charter renewals. Charters guarantee race spots and payouts, but the teams argue the terms are unfavorable. The trial has exposed personal communications and tensions within NASCAR. NASCAR defends its practices, citing increased payouts and open team options. If 23XI and Front Row win, it could lead to major changes in NASCAR’s structure. A settlement could still occur at any time.
