Denny Hamlin Faces $100M Loss After Federal Court Reversal on NASCAR Charter Battle

Denny Hamlin Faces $100M Loss After Federal Court Reversal on NASCAR Charter Battle

NASCAR Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin is introduced before the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tenn., Sunday, June 1, 2025.

In a shocking turn of events, Denny Hamlin and his team face a staggering potential loss of $100 million following a federal court’s ruling on their NASCAR charter deal. The collaboration between Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports hit a major roadblock when the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit overturned a lower court’s decision to grant them a guaranteed spot in NASCAR’s 2025 season through a charter agreement.

The legal battle centered around the allegation that NASCAR’s requirement for teams to sign a legal release covering past conduct in order to join the charter system violated antitrust laws. However, the appeals court dismissed this claim, emphasizing that such a condition is standard practice within the industry and not unlawful.

Judge Paul V. Niemeyer, delivering the panel’s decision, stated, “Because that theory of antitrust law is not supported by any case of which we are aware, we conclude that it was not a likely basis for success on the merits and vacate the injunction.” This ruling not only denied Jordan’s team and Front Row Motorsports the charter status but also highlighted that the initial injunction had unfairly favored them over other teams by forcing NASCAR into a contract without its consent.

As a result of this ruling, both 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports are now compelled to operate as open teams in NASCAR, meaning they will no longer enjoy the financial security and guaranteed entry into races that charter teams receive. This setback comes amidst a broader antitrust lawsuit filed by Jordan’s team and Front Row, alleging that NASCAR wields monopoly power over professional stock car racing and abuses it.

The future looks uncertain for Denny Hamlin and his team as they navigate this significant legal defeat, which has far-reaching implications for their participation in NASCAR events. Stay tuned for updates as this story continues to unfold.
