NASCAR Settles the Antitrust Lawsuit
December 11, 2025 | Edition #498
👋 Hey, Motorhead!
We didn’t intend to reach out to you again, but there’s something significant that deserves attention. 23XI Racing and NASCAR have been at loggerheads for some time now. Neither party was willing to step back from its stance, and it looked like this antitrust case would go the distance. But in a surprising turn of events, the two sides have finally agreed to settle the dispute with a mutual agreement.

This isn’t the first time NASCAR settled a civil lawsuit. Back in 2002, Francis Ferko, backed by SMI sued NASCAR, claiming that NASCAR had unfairly denied Texas Motor Speedway a second Cup Series date. The case put pressure on NASCAR’s scheduling practices and raised antitrust concerns. It ultimately ended in 2004 with a settlement. SMI received a second race at Texas Motor Speedway and Darlington lost one of its traditional dates. It is worth noting, the two parties never went to trial. |
