Denny Hamlin in November 2024 called out Larry McReynolds for \u201cspreading disinformation<\/a>\u201d about the 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports lawsuit against NASCAR<\/a>. Thirteen months later, the case is closed.<\/p>\n

The two sides reached a settlement this past Thursday, bringing an end to the trial after nine days in court. McReynolds, the former NASCAR crew chief, hosts \u201cOn Track\u201d on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. McReynolds shared a tease on social media ahead of Tuesday\u2019s show, and he had a visitor in his comment section. It was Hamlin, hoping to hear an apology later.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood morning,\u201d Hamlin wrote on X<\/a>. \u201cNow that the case is settled and the evidence is out will you or anyone on channel 90 be issuing an apology for what you all said about 23XI\/FRM when the lawsuit was filed?\u201d<\/p>\n

23XI and FRM in October 2024 filed an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR and its CEO Jim France, alleging monopolistic practices. The lawsuit was filed in response to NASCAR\u2019s \u201ctake-it-or-leave-it\u201d Charter Agreement offer two months prior, in which 23XI and FRM were the only two Cup Series teams to not sign. At the time the lawsuit was filed, McReynolds took aim at the teams<\/a> for attempting to disrupt \u201cthe way [NASCAR] has done business for 76 and a half years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Denny Hamlin goes after Larry McReynolds\u2026 again <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got an organization that\u2019s been here not even four years that all of a sudden is saying, \u2018We gotta change the way NASCAR\u2019s run.\u2019 I\u2019m all about change. Change is what makes you better,\u201d McReynolds said. \u201cBut you know what? When I see Richard Childress, Jake Roush, Rick Hendrick, and Joe Gibbs that\u2019s been here longer than some of these guys have been pooping yellow\u2026 and they signed off and said this is good\u2026 we\u2019re OK.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are things we don\u2019t like about it but we\u2019re going to do what\u2019s best for the sport and best for our business. And they signed off on it and these people that have been either not competitive or only been here for four and a half years have been saying the way we\u2019ve done business for 76 and a half years is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamlin remembers those words well. He issued a follow-up tweet<\/a>, mentioning McReynolds\u2019 comments from over a year ago. <\/p>\n

\u201cI believe it was \u2018How dare them for trying to come in and change the sport. 23XI hasn\u2019t been around long enough and FRM wasn\u2019t good enough.\u2019 Also, how about \u2018I don\u2019t know what their problem is, 13 other teams signed it.\u2019 Just to name a few examples,\u201d Hamlin wrote.<\/p>\n

The trial, while never requiring verdict from the jury, ended with the teams getting what they coveted most. NASCAR agreed to grant the teams with evergreen (permanent) charters. <\/p>\n

The sport was changed forever from this lawsuit and subsequent trial. For Hamlin, that\u2019s a win. <\/p>\n

\u201cStanding up isn\u2019t easy, but progress never comes from staying silent,\u201d Hamlin tweeted<\/a> last Thursday. \u201cThe reward is in knowing you changed something.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Denny Hamlin in November 2024 called out Larry McReynolds for \u201cspreading disinformation\u201d about the 23XI Racing and Front…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":349082,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,82],"class_list":["post-349081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nascar","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
