[autotag]23XI Racing[/autotag] and [autotag]Front Row Motorsports[/autotag] have taken their actions to the next level. On Wednesday morning, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports announced they have filed an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR and its chairman, Jim France. As of October 2, the two organizations are the only teams not to have signed NASCAR’s latest charter agreement.
“We share a passion for racing, the thrill of competition and winning,” 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports said in a joint statement. “Off the racetrack, we share a belief that change is necessary for the sport we love. Together, we brought this antitrust case so that racing can thrive and become a more competitive and fair sport in ways that will benefit teams, drivers, sponsors, and, most importantly, fans.”

Jeffrey Kessler, a noted antitrust attorney, will represent the teams, and this isn’t his first time dealing with this type of business. Kessler has been instrumental in helping college athletes get paid for NIL and has been very successful in cases involving the NFL. The two teams will look to continue racing, despite the lawsuit against NASCAR moving forward.
