NASCAR says Michael Jordan antitrust suit is to force permanent charter no other team has
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR argued in its latest court filing that Michael Jordan is suing the stock car series to earn a permanent charter that no other teams possess, and that neither 23XI Racing nor Front Row Motorsports has suffered any harm by racing as 'open' entries. NASCAR also indicated in its 34-page response filed late Monday that it has buyers interested in the six charters that have been set aside as a federal judge decides if the two teams can have them back for the remaining 11 races of this season. NASCAR is prepared to immediately begin the process of allocating the charters elsewhere. These latest arguments are part of the ongoing federal antitrust lawsuit filed by 23XI and Front Row against NASCAR in a fight over charters, which are essentially franchise tags. 23XI, owned by basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan and three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin, and Front Row, owned by entrepreneur Bob Jenkins, were the only two organizations out of 15 not to sign extensions on new charter agreements. All the teams were fighting to have the charters made permanent during more than two years of extension negotiations, but NASCAR refused and its final offer was simply through 2031. 23XI and Front Row won a temporary injunction to be recognized as chartered as the case heads toward a Dec. 1 trial date. The injunction was eventually overturned, appealed by the teams and U.S. District Judge Kenneth Bell will hear arguments Aug. 28 on the matter. 23XI and Front Row as 'open' teams do not receive the same financial percentages as chartered teams. A rulebook change in July after the chartered status was stripped from the two organizations ensured that the six cars aren't in danger of not qualifying for a race; starting spots are guaranteed to the 36 chartered cars in every 40-car field. 'Mr. Jordan has said he wants to use the litigation to grant him a permanent Charter that no other team has,' NASCAR alleged. 23XI and Front Row have maintained they will continue to race even if they must do so as open teams. NASCAR has argued that when the two organizations did not sign the extensions they lost all rights to charters and the sanctioning body should be free to move them. 'Plaintiffs' theoretical inability to obtain Charters post-trial also does not justify NASCAR from selling or transferring Charters, because Plaintiffs do not have Charters now because of their own strategic choice," NASCAR said in its filing. "Plaintiffs had multiple opportunities to acquire 2025 Charters, and they squandered them.' NASCAR also argued that a court cannot order the private company into a partnership with teams it is not interested in doing business with. Another argument by NASCAR is that 23XI and Front Row have not been harmed by not being chartered because their drivers have not left the team and the rule change protects them from missing races; Tyler Reddick of 23XI has clauses in his contract that he can leave if his car is not chartered. Additionally, NASCAR said it pays teams a higher percentage than even Formula 1 does and that its payout structure to teams proves it is not a monopoly because it was increased first by 28% in the 2016 charter agreement, and then by 62% in the 2025 agreement. 'NASCAR pays Teams more than even Formula 1 as a percentage of profit," NASCAR said. 'Plaintiffs ignore the pay raises the Teams received. Instead, they focus on a text during negotiations for the 2025 Charter that said an internal version of the May 2024 draft contained 'zero wins' for Teams. "Plaintiffs ignore that the actual May 2024 draft proposed to Teams carried forward the biggest win for the Teams — a massive pay increase — that was set out in the December 2023 draft. It also gave Charter holders an opportunity to obtain any improved extension terms NASCAR offered to third parties and increased Teams' ability to receive investor funding, among other benefits.'

NASCAR Reaches Ticket Milestone For Thrilling Richmond Raceway Cup Race
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway was completely sold out on Saturday, as fans flocked to witness the high-speed action that the three-quarter-mile oval delivers. The race turned out to be a huge hit as William Byron clinched the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Regular Season Championship, while Austin Dillon secured his sixth career victory. Richmond Raceway President Lori Collier Waran broke the news of the sellout ahead of the Cup race. She said: "Our fans have long told us that Saturday night NASCAR Cup Series racing and Richmond Raceway are a perfect combination, so this announcement is a testament to them. We are grateful for their enthusiasm and support, which is going to make tonight's Cook Out 400 a celebration we'll long remember." Dillon led the race for 107 laps, a first for the No. 3 in the Cup Series since Dale Earnhardt led 107 laps in his legendary victory in the 1998 Daytona 500. The win marks Dillon's sixth victory in the Cup Series, which came a year after his previous win at Richmond. A general view of racing during the NASCAR Cup Series Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway on August 16, 2025 in Richmond, Virginia. A general view of racing during the NASCAR Cup Series Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway on August 16, 2025 in Richmond, successfully secured a spot in the playoffs, offering Richard Childress Racing a shot at the Cup Series championship. Addressing his first win of the season, he said: "Man, that feels good, got to thank the good Lord above. I really wanted that one. Last year hurt really bad, just going through the whole process of it. But this one feels so sweet. Man, I love Richmond. "God has timing. His timing is the best timing. ... It's just so special. Every one of these means so much to me. My grandfather [NASCAR Hall of Fame team owner Richard Childress], for all that he's put up in believing in me, because there's been a lot of ups and downs, could have been easy for him to change the drivers in this 3-car. Today it feels really darn good." Byron, who finished the Cup race in 12th place, won his first regular-season championship at Richmond Raceway. He started the 2025 Cup Series season on a high note by winning the Daytona 500 for the second time. He needed to finish 62 points ahead of the runner-up to win the championship. Speaking about the big achievement, Byron said: "It's really the best 12th-place finish I've ever had. We came in here and really just did a solid job. We qualified solid. We always want more, but this is definitely our toughest race track. We just kind of came in here, had a solid plan and executed it. "This team has worked extremely hard. All the guys have worked hard through the summer months. Feel like this has been the best summer we've ever had speed-wise. Had a lot of tough things happen throughout probably really early July. We had a lot of speed, but some crashes in practice and qualifying. Just some car issues and things that happened. Just really, really cool."
