NASCAR has countersued Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, alleging the teams “willfully” violated antitrust laws through coordinated actions on charter agreements. NASCAR attorney Chris Yates has commented on the matter.

NASCAR sued 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, saying in court documents that the two companies want to eliminate the charter system.

NASCAR stated in court documents that the two teams and Curtis Polk “embarked on a strategy to threaten, coerce, and extort NASCAR into meeting their demands for better contract and financial terms.”
