“We share a passion for racing, the thrill of competition, and winning,” said a joint statement from 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports. “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.”

Antitrust and sports lawyer Jeffrey Kessler believes a lawsuit filed by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports will be like other moments in professional sports that have brought change.
The joint antitrust lawsuit was filed Wednesday morning in the Western District of North Carolina against NASCAR and CEO Jim France. It alleges that through anti-competitive practices NASCAR and the France family operate without transparency, have stifled the competition, and control the sport in an unfair way that is at the expense of the race teams, drivers, sponsors, partners and fans.
