Leaked texts have been wreaking havoc in the NASCAR<\/a> world, from top executives trading shocking insults about Richard Childress to heated debates over Cup drivers competing in outside series.<\/p>\n

While the fallout among fans has been explosive, the leaks have also offered a rare look into 23XI Racing co-owner Michael Jordan\u2019s long-term vision for his organization. And now, with the December 1 trial fast approaching, a newly uncovered exchange has raised the stakes even higher, revealing the bold $200 million charter ambition the NBA<\/a> icon has been quietly pursuing, while his FRM allies shed their subtlety and reveal their true stance.<\/p>\n

\u2018MJ\u2019s People Are on a Different Level\u2019 \u2013 Leak Reveals FRM GM\u2019s Stance Amid NASCAR Legal Battle<\/p>\n

As Matt Weaver\u2019s recent report confirms, the long-rumored merger between 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports wasn\u2019t just idle chatter behind closed doors; it was very real.<\/p>\n

Leaked correspondence reveals that 23XI and FRM were well into building a merger-style alliance that would integrate FRM into a stronger Toyota-backed operation led by MJ, Denny Hamlin, and Curtis Polk.<\/p>\n

Under the proposed terms<\/a>, both sides valued their charters at $12 million each. 23XI was set to acquire 80% of FRM\u2019s Charter 26 for $9.6 million, while FRM would take a 20% stake in a 23XI charter for $2.4 million. But behind the paperwork and negotiations, another quiet exchange was unfolding, this one between FRM GM Jeremy Freeze and Xfinity Series team owner Jeremy Lange (Viking Motorsports).<\/p>\n

According to the newly uncovered conversation<\/a>, dated back to 2021, when the 23XI-FRM merger reports were at their peak, Lange asked Freeze, \u201cYou guys get your deal done?\u201d In exchange, Freeze tells the NXS owner that the merger talks had become overly complicated, with too many people trying to define too many hypotheticals.<\/p>\n

Lange joked about the chaos and admitted he still couldn\u2019t believe Bob Jenkins might end up partnering with Hamlin and Jordan. To which the GM responds, \u201cMJ\u2019s people are a whole different level.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey really think the charters will be worth $200M once they use their \u201cinfluence\u201d on the next NASCAR\/TV deal. I want to tell them the Hornets are riding the coattails of LeBron\/Steph Curry and the NBA\u2019s world marketing plan, not their stewardship of a low-level franchise,\u201d his statement continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey keep saying how they are going to increase our charter\u2019s value once they run it and make Bob more money, but hell, they aren\u2019t outrunning us now!\u201d<\/p>\n

Lange\u2019s response sealed the sentiment between them \u2013 \u201cMy thoughts exactly. They truly don\u2019t get it. It\u2019s easy now while they have sponsorship. Without it they are no different than Rick Ware.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their exchange may have been born from miscommunication or simple frustration. Still, in today\u2019s context, that very disconnect highlights the deeper fractures and disagreements, fractures now laid bare amid the escalating charter battle.<\/p>\n
