US EditionHamlin remains confident over antitrust case against NASCAR
- On October 2, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports initiated an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR, filing the case in a federal court located in North Carolina's western region.
- The teams claim NASCAR bullied them into signing charter agreements, which are franchise deals that hinder financial competition, and a federal appellate panel might overturn an injunction benefiting them.
- In December, Judge Kenneth Bell issued an injunction allowing 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to compete with guaranteed race entries through the charter system, securing 36 of the 40 available spots, while efforts to mediate the dispute continue.
- On Saturday, Denny Hamlin, who co-owns 23XI Racing with Michael Jordan, expressed strong optimism about their lawsuit, while attorney Jeffrey Kessler cautioned that lifting the injunction during the season could disrupt operations and risk losing both drivers and sponsors.
- If the injunction is overturned, 23XI and Front Row would race as open teams needing to qualify each event, which could financially damage the teams and alter NASCAR's charter system.
