NASCAR Permits Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing and Front Row to Race in 2025 Amid Antitrust Lawsuit

Nov 16, 2024, 01:55 PM

23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, including one team owned by Michael Jordan, have appealed a preliminary injunction ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. The teams requested an expedited appeal to argue their case before the 2025 NASCAR season starts, but NASCAR opposes this request. In a significant development, NASCAR has agreed to let both teams compete as 'open teams' in 2025, while continuing their antitrust lawsuit. This agreement removes a clause that would have released NASCAR from certain legal claims, allowing the teams to race without jeopardizing their legal action.
