  • XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports have intensified their legal battle against NASCAR by re-filing a prior preliminary injunction

Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin have escalated their legal battle with NASCAR over the rejection of their application for a new team, 23XI Racing, to join the Cup Series. In a recent court filing, they argue that NASCAR's decision to deny their application was not only arbitrary but also lacked any substantial justification, potentially violating antitrust laws. The filing highlights that NASCAR's refusal to expand the field, despite the team's readiness and the sport's growth potential, could be seen as an attempt to stifle competition. Jordan and Hamlin are seeking a preliminary injunction to allow their team into the 2025 season, emphasizing the significant investments and preparations they've made, including securing a charter from another team, which NASCAR has not recognized. This legal action underscores the tension between expanding the sport's popularity and maintaining control over its competitive structure.
