NASCAR Lawsuit: Michael Jordan Urges NASCAR to ‘Come to Their Senses’ Amid Jim France’s Diplomatic Silence

23XI Racing co-owner Michael Jordan and NASCAR CEO Jim France have appeared for the Yellawood 500 race at Talladega. While this would be normal, after the turn of events last week, their presence is significant.

For those who have missed out on events, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports have filed an anti-trust lawsuit against NASCAR after failing to reach an agreement to sign the charter deal. Michael Jordan's initial response was a statement, "Today's action shows I'm willing to fight for a competitive market where everyone wins."

However, this was the only reaction the NASCAR community had from the NBA legend. Meanwhile, NASCAR and the France family have yet to comment on the lawsuit filed by the two teams. Having turned up at the racetrack to support his two drivers, Bob Pockrass caught up with Jordan to get his view on the whole situation.

It did feel like 23XI Racing with Jordan's backing was looking to go all-in, but his comments paint a rather different picture. "It's not just me; obviously, I think everybody should have an opportunity to be successful in any business. My voices say that it hadn't been happening. I want it to be as quick as possible; I don't want it to linger long. Hopefully, we can come to our senses and figure out something that makes sense for everybody."

Meanwhile, making a rare appearance, Jim France was tight-lipped when asked about the tussle with Michael Jordan and his team. "Excited about our championship battles and looking forward to a fantastic race today."

This is a developing story.
