Denny Hamlin admitted that his team's future participation is 'TBD', noting that "there’s certain things that we’re going to have to navigate so I hope so.”
It's a staggering admission following the recent court loss where the teams filed a preliminary injunction aiming to keep their charters while the antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR is ongoing. The injunction was denied and the teams will appeal, but now they're facing the very real possibility of competing as 'open' teams in 2025. This comes with a significant loss of revenue, and none of their cars will be locked into any race.
