The recent news about 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports (FRM) filing an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR is an incredible step to try and limit the power of the dynastic France family. It’s also not the first time those within the sport pushed back against the ruling body.
It’s very fitting that we head to Talladega Superspeedway immediately after this court filing, as this track played host to one of the most dramatic showdowns between the sport and its competitors in NASCAR history. So iconic were the happenings at Talledega in '69 that it was even mentioned in the court filing by 23XI and FRM as an example of the France family’s hold over the sport.
