His 23XI Racing team, along with Bob Jenkins' Front Row Motorsports, has hauled NASCAR into federal court, claiming new changes to the sport's charter system are unfair to teams. Under the current $7.7 billion media deal, tracks receive about 65 percent, teams split 25 percent, and NASCAR takes the rest. NASCAR was once dominated by dynasties: Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Jimmie Johnson—great drivers who won so much they nearly smothered the product. The charter system works like revenue sharing, and the Next Gen car functions like a salary cap. They briefly won an injunction, letting them race as charter teams, but in June, the 4th Circuit tossed it, saying their case wasn't strong enough.
