Michael Jordan Says He Was ‘All In’ on NASCAR Lawsuit as 23XI Keeps Winning

His push helped secure evergreen team charters in a December 2025 settlement with terms that remain undisclosed.

Overview

  • Jordan, in a CBS interview that aired Friday, said he was ready to risk being pushed out of NASCAR to force changes he believed were overdue.
  • The antitrust suit filed in October 2024 by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports challenged NASCAR’s 2016 charter model as monopolistic and unfair to the teams and drivers who put on the show.
  • NASCAR settled in December 2025, granting all teams evergreen charters with improved terms that reshape how the sport is governed.
  • A charter works like a team license that guarantees entry to Cup Series races and gives owners stronger long‑term security, yet the settlement’s money details were not released.
  • On the track, 23XI Racing has won four of the first six Cup races, including the Daytona 500, reinforcing Jordan’s influence as a co-owner with driver Denny Hamlin.
