\u201cBody Language Of Beaten Man\u201d: Martina Navratilova Calls Out Donald Trump Following Failed Peace Talks With Vladimir Putin<\/a><\/p>\nFront Row Motorsports and 23XI Racing push antitrust case as December trial nears<\/p>\n
In October 2024, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports brought antitrust action alleging that NASCAR’s control of charters, racetracks, and suppliers gives it an inequitable monopoly in stock-car racing. Judge Kenneth Bell issued the teams a preliminary injunction in December 2024 so they might compete as registered teams while the case goes forward. That meant 23XI and FRM could race with guaranteed spots and money.In June 2025, an appellate court overturned that decision. The teams lost their charter status and were ordered to race as \u201copen entries\u201d, meaning they might miss races and lose revenue. Then, on July 16, 2025, NASCAR accused 23XI and FRM of faking evidence and lying in court filings. The pressure only got thicker, with a judge even urging both sides to consider a settlement in June 2025.Denny Hamlin, speaking in Dover, Delaware, said the teams will keep racing as open entries and vowed that \u201call will be exposed\u201d when their trial starts on December 1, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Jordan\u2019s 23XI Racing scores major courtroom victory as judge rejects NASCAR claim (Image via Firstpost) Michael Jordan\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":91133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[62210,62211,11050,9432,62208,425,62209,62212,99],"class_list":["post-91132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-antitrust-case-nascar","tag-court-ruling-nascar","tag-denny-hamlin","tag-front-row-motorsports","tag-michael-jordan-23xi-racing","tag-nascar","tag-nascar-lawsuit","tag-nascar-penalties","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Michael Jordan\u2019s 23XI Racing scores major courtroom victory as judge rejects NASCAR claim (Image via Firstpost) Michael Jordan\u2019s NASCAR team, 23XI Racing, co-owned with driver Denny Hamlin, scored a key courtroom win in North Carolina. A federal judge said NASCAR\u2019s demand that the racing teams show cause, to explain why they shouldn\u2019t face penalties over \u201cmanufactured evidence\u201d claims, was denied. The judge ruled the motion didn\u2019t help the case and seemed more aimed at affecting public opinion than the court\u2019s process. This is a big moment in a long fight over whether NASCAR holds too much control in the sport. <\/p>\n
