Today, the NASCAR <\/a>lawsuit went into another hearing. This time, texts between Michael Jordan and Curtis Polk were revealed. One exchange between the 23XI Racing co-owners ended up being quite humorous. <\/p>\n

Michael Jordan is no stranger to gambling. He likes to wager money and likes going to the casino. That has been known for years. But you don\u2019t always see MJ acknowledge that publicly. <\/p>\n

In the text exchange between Jordan and Polk, the two seem to be discussing a driver. When the topic of money came up, Jordan pointed out that money isn\u2019t really a problem for the GOAT. <\/p>\n

\u201cTotally understand. I will do it at [redacted] million. See if Toyota will support us if decide to keep him for 2025 or we are able to get a charter,\u201d Jordan texted Polk back in August of 2023, via Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This would also be more than a year before 23XI would get a third charter. So, who knows we don\u2019t know who they are discussing. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo way. We would be burning [redacted] million. \u2026 Invest in what we have and make it better,\u201d Polk replied. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have lost that in a casino. Lets [sic] do it,\u201d Jordan replied. <\/p>\n

Whoever or whatever this is about, Michael Jordan was willing to burn millions to do it. It does make you wonder why Corey Heim, who has sponsorship issues when it comes to Cup racing, hasn\u2019t been promoted. If MJ is willing to spend, he could fund Heim. <\/p>\n

Most everyone in the industry agrees Heim is ready for Sundays now. Instead, Riley Herbst is in the 35 with, allegedly, a big check. <\/p>\n

While this was a funny exchange, there were less humorous moments, too. In fact, Judge Kenneth Bell had to warn both sides about \u201csparring\u201d in his courtroom again. It was a heated hearing between two parties that clearly have no interest in being kind to each other. <\/p>\n

So, the NASCAR lawsuit continues. With today\u2019s hearing, the tone of the case has shifted for sure. There were messages revealed from NASCAR and 23XI-FRM <\/a>that rubbed the other side the wrong way. <\/p>\n

Judge Bell continues to push for a settlement. He wants the two sides to settle on the requested injunction. Judge Bell doesn\u2019t believe his ruling will be completely satisfactory to both sides. That possibility, today more than before, seems slim at best. <\/p>\n

NASCAR does not want to do business with 23XI Racing and Front Row. Jim France is not a popular man among the people at 23XI and FRM, either. Denny Hamlin had messages<\/a> revealed as well. Today\u2019s hearing was not a positive for anyone who wants to see this case avoid trial. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today, the NASCAR lawsuit went into another hearing.
