NASCAR has filed its response to 23XI/Front Row's request for a temporary restraining order that would allow them to keep their charter status.

Some nuggets:

-- NASCAR says the teams do not actually have the charters and never did since they never agreed to the terms; NASCAR does. Thus NASCAR believes they cannot get the charters "back" and it's a "false premise" that giving them back would be maintaining the status quo.

-- NASCAR says "There is no credible risk (or even threat) that any of Plaintiffs’ drivers will leave mid-season, let alone over the next two weeks. None of their evidence even makes that claim." Same with sponsors.

-- NASCAR says it will not sell the charters until the court's ruling on the preliminary injunction motion despite "substantial interest in Charters from motorsports companies racing in
INDYCAR, Xfinity, and other series"

-- Michael Jordan said in a deposition that 23XI's long-term participation in NASCAR was contingent on permanent charters. "When asked what he was 'hoping (to) get out of this lawsuit,' his response was: 'Permanent charters, an opportunity to race Cup, race stock cars.'"

-- NASCAR says both teams have submitted the paperwork to run as open teams for the rest of the season.
