US EditionJudges indicate they may toss order allowing two teams to race as chartered teams
- On Friday, a federal appeals court consisting of three judges suggested it could reverse a court order that currently permits 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to compete as chartered NASCAR teams this season.
- In December, a federal judge in North Carolina issued an injunction after the teams filed an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR on October 2, claiming the organization compelled them into new charter agreements following two years of unsuccessful negotiations.
- Chris Yates, representing NASCAR, maintained that the court-issued injunction created a forced partnership detrimental to other teams financially, and the judges appeared to concur that the district court had made a mistake by granting the injunction.
- Overturning the injunction would let 23XI Racing, co-owned by Michael Jordan, Denny Hamlin, and Curtis Polk, and Front Row Motorsports race but without charter perks like guaranteed weekly revenue, while a trial is set for December and mediation urged.
- The appellate judges underscored the need for mediation to resolve the dispute and noted, as Judge Agee said with a wry smile, "It'll be a very interesting trial.
