As a matter of practicality, NASCAR and 23XI Racing have come to an agreement of sorts on Christmas Eve concerning the charter it is acquiring from Stewart-Haas Racing. Last week, the federal judge overseeing the antitrust lawsuit granted Front Row Motorsports its injunction request to force NASCAR to approve its own charter acquisition from the shuttered Stewart-Haas.

XI Racing, which is owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, and Front Row Motorsports filed a brief Monday morning urging U.S. District Judge Kenneth D. Bell to deny NASCAR’s motion for a stay of a preliminary injunction.
