NASCAR Challenges Michael Jordan's Racing Teams' Request for Expedited Appeal

The appeal seeks accelerated review to allow 23XI and Front Row Motorsports to compete as chartered teams next season.

23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, are appealing a court decision denying them chartered team status.
NASCAR argues the request for expedited appeal is unfair and burdensome, especially during the Thanksgiving holiday period.
The teams claim NASCAR's charter system limits competition and harms teams, drivers, sponsors, and fans.
Despite the denial, 23XI and Front Row will compete as open teams in the 2025 season, maintaining their antitrust claims.
The Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit will decide whether to expedite the appeal process.
