CHARLOTTE, N.C. – In its latest court filing, NASCAR has countered claims made by Michael Jordan, asserting that the lawsuit aims to secure a permanent charter that is not available to other teams. The stock car series argues that neither 23XI Racing nor Front Row Motorsports has experienced any harm by competing as “open” entries.

Key Points from NASCAR’s Filing

• Charter Allocation: NASCAR noted that there are buyers interested in the six charters currently set aside while a federal judge deliberates on whether the two teams can reclaim them for the remaining 11 races of the season.
• Immediate Action: The series stated it is prepared to initiate the process of allocating these charters to other interested parties if necessary.

Implications for 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports

NASCAR’s response suggests that the teams involved may not face significant setbacks by racing without permanent charters, potentially impacting their competitive strategies moving forward. As the legal proceedings unfold, the outcome may shape the future of charter allocations in the series.
