23XI Racing and Front Row accelerate legal battle with NASCAR

More news – Recent news

Two NASCAR Cup Series teams, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports (FRM), are facing an uphill battle both on and off the track. The recent lawsuit against NASCAR and its CEO Jim France throws a wrench into their expansion plans.

The lawsuit centers on a new charter agreement for the 2025 season, a foundational document that ensures teams compete in every race. Both 23XI, owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, and FRM, owned by Bob Jenkins, argue that the deal creates an unfair advantage for existing teams.

As the lawsuit unfolds, the future of expansion for both teams remains uncertain. Both 23XI and FRM had previously announced plans to expand from two-car to three-car operations in 2025. However, the legal battle could potentially hinder these plans by delaying or even jeopardizing their access to needed charters.

NASCAR officials have yet to comment on the lawsuit. However, a quick resolution is likely in the best interests of all parties involved. Next season depends on a final charter agreement, and the uncertainty created by the lawsuit creates a hurdle for all teams.

NASCAR fans are left waiting for answers as the legal battle unfolds. The outcome of the lawsuit could have significant implications for the entire sport, impacting competition and potentially even the number of teams participating in future seasons.
