The antitrust case against NASCAR opened on 2 December 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina, placing NBA legend Michael Jordan and his 23XI Racing team at the centre of a high-stakes legal fight. The lawsuit accuses NASCAR of running an unfair system that harms teams.
The first witness was Denny Hamlin, who co-owns 23XI with Jordan. Hamlin walked to the stand early in the session. He soon became emotional.
