SAD NEWS: Kyle Larson Has Announced departing from NASCAR today and Reason Why…..
Shortly after NASCAR filed a counterclaim against 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, NASCAR attorney Chris Yates spoke with reporters and questioned if 23XI and Front Row are interested in growing the sport.
23XI co-owner Denny Hamlin has since offered his rebuttal. Joe Gibbs Racing announced that Hamlin will appear on the NASCAR Experience stage this Saturday at Phoenix Raceway.
He will also be signing autographs at the Toyota GAZOO Racing merchandise hauler on Sunday ahead of the Shriners Children’s 500.
Hamlin quote tweeted the announcement with a shot back at NASCAR.
Hamlin has been outspoken against NASCAR over the past calendar year and in many respects, is the face of 23XI and Front Row’s antitrust lawsuit against the stock car racing series and its CEO Jim France.

Another layer was added to the legal battle when NASCAR filed its countersuit on Wednesday.
In the 30-page court filing, NASCAR claims that 23XI, Front Row and 23XI co-owner Curtis Polk “willfully violated the antitrust laws by orchestrating anticompetitive collective conduct.”
NASCAR in the suit called the teams an “illegal cartel,” and alleges that they, led by Polk, “agreed to a scheme to pressure NASCAR to accept their collusive terms, including by engaging in media campaigns, interfering with NASCAR’s broadcast agreement negotiations, threatening boycotts of NASCAR events and engaging in a group boycott of a NASCAR Team Owner Council Meeting.”
