XI Racing and Front Row are taking on NASCAR in an anti-trust lawsuit, challenging revenue splits and aiming for fairer terms. But it could all go very wrong.

XI Racing driver Tyler Reddick, who left Richard Childress Racing in 2022, speaks about the situation within the team amid a lawsuit against NASCAR.

With the season counting down to its annual climactic finish, two NASCAR teams, one co-owned by legendary basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, have sued NASCAR and accused the motorsport series and its CEO of being “bullies.

XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, the two Cup Series organizations that have not signed the charter agreement that begins in 2025, have filed an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR and its chairman Jim France.

23XI Racing, the Huntersville-based team Jordan co-owns with longtime driver Denny Hamlin, joined Front Row Motorsports to argue that the sport’s sanctioning body — led by CEO Jim France — has enriched itself through “unchecked monopolistic practices.”

"I love the sport of racing and the passion of our fans, but the way NASCAR is run today is unfair to teams, drivers, sponsors and fans. Today's action shows I'm willing to fight for a competitive market where everyone wins,

"I didn't just file it for me. It's for everyone,” Jordan told The Athletic on Sunday about the antitrust suit.

Former NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace publicly criticizes Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing in a lawsuit targeting NASCAR's alleged monopolistic practices.

Michael Jordan said that he and Front Row Motorsports are suing NASCAR because they know they can win for the fairness of all teams in the Cup Series field.
