XI Racing co-owners Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan, along with Front Row Motorsports owner Bob Jenkins and NASCAR Chairman Jim France attended Monday's court session.

XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports squared off against NASCAR in court on Monday as the motion for preliminary injunction was heard by District Judge Frank D. Whitney in Charlotte.

Nunis is an extremely important figure in NASCAR’s history because he was the person who once told Bill France years earlier to stop declaring individual races as national championships. Instead, he argued, France should distribute points to decide a champion at the end of the year.

The first injunction requests the judge order NASCAR to grant 23XI and Front Row charters over the course of the lawsuit due to the irreparable harm of racing without one. He said without a charter, drivers and sponsors have opt outs in their contracts that could allow them to leave for other organizations.

A judge denied 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports' request for expedited discovery in their antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR over the 2025 charter agreement.
