Bubba Wallace Breaks Silence on 23XI Racing’s Recent Loss on Court Amidst charter lawsuit

23XI Racing’s bold antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR has received some shocking rulings in the past couple of days. Front Row Motorsports, who joined 23XI after the lawsuit was formally filed, is also facing a massive threat in terms of its spot in the NASCAR garage. According to the court’s latest ruling, 23XI-FRM could lose its charter status within weeks. However, Bubba Wallace is unfazed by these updates as he insists that his focus lies on racing on the track and not the politics.

In the previous week, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denied 23XI and FRM’s request for the matter to be looked into by all the judges of a court (en banc). The most recent update on the case by the three-judge panel is that the previous injunction safeguarding the teams of their charter status is now upheld. As such, both 23XI and FRM now risk a loss of charter status as early as the Sonoma or Dover race week.

Bubba Wallace, who has been racing with 23XI since the 2020 season, was questioned regarding his thoughts on the legal battle that his team is going through. While 23XI’s loss of charter could pose serious implications for Wallace and his seat with the team, he isn’t much concerned. The 31-year-old asserted that he did not follow the latest updates of the case.

Bubba Wallace pointed out that he was aware of the bottom line of the case and what it could mean if the team lost the lawsuit. The #23 driver insists that he has opportunities with him as he will keep showing up and scoring good results. The 31-year-old aims to keep racing until 23XI has to shut its doors after incurring massive financial losses following the open charter status. Regardless, he emphasized that he wishes to have fun no matter what happens in the end.

No, honestly no, Obviously, you just know the base layer of everything, but opportunities are in front of me. I’m going to keep showing up until the doors are lockeda or whatever, you know? So, for me, I just show up, have fun. Whatever happens, happens.

Denny Hamlin ‘not deterred at all’ by latest verdict on 23XI’s case

Denny Hamlin, the part-owner of 23XI alongside Michael Jordan, shared his opinion on the matter, which was similar to Bubba Wallace’s. The 44-year-old wasn’t too surprised when the court ruled in NASCAR’s favor and put 23XI at a disadvantage. Speaking on potentially losing the charter status and running as an open team, Hamlin asserted that he wasn’t affected by this, and his intentions with the lawsuit remained the same.
