Michael Jordan is not personally suing NASCAR. In fact, the parties suing NASCAR in this dispute are the two NASCAR teams 23XI Racing (co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin) and Front Row Motorsports. They filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR and its leadership (notably CEO Jim France) alleging anti-competitive practices related to NASCAR’s charter system and the way media rights and starting positions are allocated. The core accusation is that NASCAR operates a monopoly via the charter framework and that certain team owners tried to coerce or collude to alter terms in ways that disadvantage others. Over time, the dispute has evolved with counterclaims and court filings, including NASCAR’s responses and related motions, but the central actor with the antitrust lawsuit remains the two teams led by 23XI and Front Row Motorsports, with Jordan as a principal owner of 23XI. If you’d like, I can summarize the timeline of key filings, what the charter system is, and what both sides allege, with citations to reliable reports.
