NASCAR, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports have reached a settlement in their federal antitrust case, ending the trial on its ninth day.

NASCAR on Thursday reached a deal with 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to end the ongoing litigation. Terms were not yet known.

After a year since 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports filed a federal lawsuit against NASCAR and its chairman, Jim France. The parties go to court:

Kaulig will be represented by full-time drivers Brenden Queen, Daniel Dye, and Justin Haley throughout the 2026 season. The first race of the upcoming season is scheduled for February 1, 2026. Named the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium, fans can watch the Cup Series event live on FOX Sports.

The terms we know, Michael Jordan's reaction, and more in the wake of Thursday's settlement between NASCAR and the two teams suing it.

23XI Racing, which is owned by basketball Hall of Famer Jordan, three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin, and Jordan’s financial adviser, Curtis Polk, and Front Row Motorsports, owned by Bob Jenkins, were the only two teams out of 15 organizations that refused to sign. They sued instead.

Rick Ware Racing’s NASCAR Cup Series operation will switch to Chevrolet in 2026, joining the winningest manufacturer in series history.

After seven days of the plaintiffs laying out their case, it's the defense's turn. And the future of the sport still hangs in the balance.
