The settlement of the NASCAR lawsuit just helped avoid what could have been a long, ugly war between the sport and the teams. Although it was a settlement, major decisions like permanent charters and a greater share of revenue worked in the teams’ favor. And wHi Michael Jordan And Denis HamlinIt is 23XI Race celebrates his feat, fans are asking for more.
Look at the current trends!
Most fans were on the teams’ side during the antitrust lawsuit, which accused NASCAR of a monopoly. Naturally, some sided with the sport, and the fan base is now suing them for an apology.
What made fans angry about the NASCAR settlement?
It’s no surprise that many NASCAR broadcasters sided with the sport during the trial. It was exactly what Larry McReynolds And Dave Moody did. Both criticized 23XI for the lawsuit, also calling it a major gamble. Additionally, the young age of the 23XI compared to some other teams didn’t help their argument either.
“We have an organization that’s been around for less than four years and all of a sudden says ‘we need to change the way NASCAR works,'” the reporter said. Brett Winningham had reported these words from McReynolds.
Denny Hamlin also spoke out against Dave Moody, who, in Hamlin’s words, attempted to refute 23XI’s legal arguments on air.
“While censorship is an important topic in today’s media world, Channel 90 could be the poster child,” Hamlin said while taking shots at SiriusXM NASCAR Radio to censor comments about the trial.
The main demand, as has been the case for years, was that the charters become permanent. In addition to increasing the value of charters and giving teams greater financial stability, it made the cars safer for team owners. However, this also means that NASCAR would lose some control over the agreement it had with renewable charters.
However, the final settlement was indeed concluded in favor of the teams. This ended up making the charters permanent, or “evergreen,” as the release puts it. Although other details of the settlement were kept confidential, it was understood that the teams benefited from the lawsuit.
But despite this important step, fans can’t let it go, and now they’re demanding an apology from the sport’s best.

“Are we demanding an apology? Yes. Should he apologize? Absolutely. Will he apologize? Hell Naah,” someone wrote, as fans discussed the possibility of Larry McReynolds and Dave Moody coming to apologize to Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan.
As mentioned, it was understood that Larry and Dave were siding with NASCAR. While many others representing the sport did so, McReynolds made harsh statements against Hamlin and his associates, angering fans.
Now that the lawsuit has been settled, they are simply asking both men to apologize. But few people think that will happen, as one fan wrote: “I have a better chance of getting a date with Sydney Sweeney than anyone getting an apology from Larry Mac or Dave Moody.” »
But some fans also believe that the statements they made were used as “rage bait” to attract more attention from the general media, going against general public opinion.
One of the comments explained this by saying: “A total rage bait designed to get attention. The best thing one can do is simply not listen or engage with what he says or does.”
Naturally, for someone who works with NASCAR, he doesn’t have much of a choice. In the event of a lawsuit, regardless of their personal opinion, they must side with their employer. That’s exactly what Dave Moody did, according to some fans. “Moodys salary comes from NASCAR, so he needs to keep his mouth shut.”
However, some appear to have taken a different approach to their comments, mentioning that they remain “disconnected.” The entire comment read: “I think Larry Mac has become out of touch. I really hate saying this. Dave Moody hasn’t had a voice that matters in decades.”
Whatever the fans claim about the broadcasters, it’s understandable. However, for now, the NASCAR rulebook continues to be the biggest positive news to come out of all this chaos. Teams can now race in the coming seasons, with much more financial stability and will be able to focus on overall growth.
