  • NASCAR filed a motion in court on Monday asking for the dismissal of an antitrust lawsuit that accuses it of being "monopolistic bullies" that has not encouraged legitimate competition in racing.

NASCAR has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by 23XI Racing, co-owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, which alleges that NASCAR's charter system is anticompetitive. The lawsuit claims that NASCAR's control over the number of charters limits competition and team growth, particularly affecting smaller teams like 23XI Racing. NASCAR argues that the charter system, which guarantees entry into races for teams, was designed to stabilize the sport and ensure its long-term viability. The motion to dismiss asserts that the claims made by 23XI Racing do not hold up under antitrust law, and NASCAR is seeking to have the case thrown out before it progresses further.
