Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing Faces Legal Battle with NASCAR Over Charter System

The antitrust lawsuit challenges NASCAR's charter model, potentially impacting team operations and the upcoming championship race.

23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports have filed an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR, accusing it of monopolistic practices through its charter system.
The lawsuit centers on a clause in the 2025 Charter Agreement that prevents teams from launching antitrust lawsuits against NASCAR.
A preliminary injunction decision, expected by Friday, could determine whether 23XI Racing can compete as a chartered team in the 2025 season.
Michael Jordan and his team argue that NASCAR's current business model stifles competition, while NASCAR defends the charter system as equitable.
The outcome of the legal battle could affect 23XI Racing's ability to retain driver Tyler Reddick and secure sponsorships if they lose their charter status.
