NASCAR NEWS: Anthony Alfredo Announces departing from NASCAR and Reason Why…
Michael Jordan has now accused NASCAR of victim-blaming in an antitrust lawsuit against the racing organization.
The co-owner of 23XI Racing, Jordan, is once again seeking a temporary injunction against NASCAR to allow them to compete as chartered teams in the 2025 season.
In this case, 23XI and Front Row Motorsports requested a preliminary injunction to be recognized as chartered teams while they pursued an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR.
Two racing teams refused to sign the take-it-or-leave-it charter agreement presented to them in September, which the other 13 Cup Series teams had signed. In the lawsuit, 23XI and Front Row called NASCAR “monopolistic bullies.” U.S. District Judge Frank D. Whitney initially denied their injunction request.
Without explanation, Whitney was replaced by Judge Kenneth D. Bell on Wednesday after the court announced Whitney would no longer be assigned to the case. n a new court filing, 23XI and Front Row claim NASCAR is ‘blaming victims for asserting their antitrust rights.’
Meanwhile, Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi discuss the repercussions that will follow NASCAR in case 23XI Racing and FRM do not participate next season.
The legal battle and its potential outcomes could have profound implications for NASCAR’s stability. In an X post by Dirty Mo Media, Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi, renowned motorsport journalists discussed the possible fallout from the lawsuit and what it could mean for the sport in a recent exchange.
