US EditionNASCAR Seeks New Mediator in Antitrust Suit as Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing Pushes Back
NASCAR requests an independent judge to mediate an antitrust suit over its charter system, which has generated over $1.5 billion in team equity since 2016, officials said.
- NASCAR has formally asked a federal court to oversee a settlement conference in an attempt to mediate the ongoing antitrust case brought by 23XI Racing, led by Michael Jordan, and Front Row Motorsports.
- After several months in which mediator Jeffrey Mishkin was unable to broker an agreement, and amid mounting concerns from teams not involved in the lawsuit about future instability, this request was made.
- Although NASCAR is seeking to resolve the dispute through a judge-led conference, two of the plaintiff teams have indicated reluctance to replace the current mediator, Jeffrey Mishkin, and prefer to maintain the existing mediation process.
- In August, Michael Jordan emphasized his willingness to persist in the battle if necessary, stating he would continue his efforts for the good of the sport.
- The judge has scheduled a summary judgment hearing for Oct. 21, with a trial set for Dec. 1 if a settlement is not reached.
