NASCAR did not initially request a charter system, but now it is defending this model against 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports. The lead counsel of NASCAR, Chris Yates, argued that the teams wanted the charter system, even though NASCAR did not actually need it. The recent counterclaim against 23XI Racing, Front Row Motorsports, and Curtis Polk alleges violations and conspiracy against NASCAR. NASCAR believes the charter system has strengthened the sport and satisfied the teams’ desires. The ongoing legal battle involves the 2025 Charter Agreement, media rights revenue, guaranteed starting positions, and ongoing enterprise value. The charter system, implemented in 2016, offers financial benefits and guaranteed race spots to teams, aiming to enhance partnership between teams and NASCAR.
