Denny Hamlin fala sobre equipes contratando advogado antitruste em meio a disputa de partilha de receita com a NASCAR.

Renowned lawyer Jeffrey Kessler, specialized in anti-trust cases, has achieved significant victories against college football, the NFL, and the NBA.

NASCAR, despite securing a broadcasting contract worth $7.7 billion for the next seven years, is facing challenges in finalizing negotiations for a new revenue-sharing model with teams beyond 2025. The exclusive negotiation period with the teams has expired, leaving NASCAR and the teams in a difficult situation as the current agreement expires at the end of this year.

In preparation for the upcoming Daytona 500 and the uncertain future, the 16 NASCAR teams held a meeting to discuss the current circumstances and devise strategies for the future. Although the NASCAR CEO was invited, he did not attend the meeting. During the meeting, it was revealed that the teams have hired the services of Jeffrey Kessler, a prominent anti-trust lawyer in the United States, to act as a consultant in resolving the issue.

Denny Hamlin, co-owner of 23XI Racing, shared some information from the meeting with his fans through his podcast. Hamlin expressed disappointment with NASCAR’s refusal to attend the invitation and emphasized the teams’ desire to protect themselves as charter agreements are of immense importance in the sport.

NASCAR President Steve Phelps recently spoke to the press about the ongoing drama of the negotiations. He pledged to expedite the process and ensure impartiality in the final agreement. Denny Hamlin responded to Phelps’ statement, acknowledging his optimism but expressing skepticism about the time it will take to reach an agreement. The JGR driver hopes for rapid progress in the negotiations.

“I appreciate your optimism, but I’m not as optimistic as Steve. But I don’t know how much of that is what he believes to be true and how much is… What he believes versus what narrative is being put out there. It’s extremely disappointing that we can’t get out of this situation, but I hope we make some progress soon.”
