The 2024 NASCAR Cup season would be marked in the history stock car racing for all of the wrong reasons. From controversial championship win of Joey Logano to two teams suing the sport owners, the season had it all. The anti-trust lawsuit 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports has filed has the potential to change the sport forever.
The legal process is currently at the starting stage, with both side filing motions slandering each other. There is also an injunction lawsuit that is under deliberation, regarding the participation of 23XI and FRM in the 2025 Cup championship season. Recently senior NASCAR journalist Jordan Bianchi has talked about the worst outcome of the lawsuit.

He believes that if everything goes haywire regarding the lawsuit, then its obvious that the serious would be spilt into two with a number of prominent teams leaving the sport. It would be a significant lose for everyone in the sport, alongside the fans and is a outcome NASCAR should never allow to materialize.
I mean the worst case I think is fairly obvious, I think it’s a split. Like you see some kind of fracture Um, where a handful of teams? Um, decide to leave NASCAR and go form their own series or just leave the sport all together and NASCAR loses a huge group of notable teams.
Jordan Bianchi said via The Teardown.
The IndyCar has once gone through such a situation
In the 90’s owing to many issues, the IndyCar series was split with teams and drivers taking sides. This still has an effect on the sport and NASCAR can’t afford to have a such split at the moment. It would a massive financial burden and they would have a huge fight on their hands giants the potential new series that would be formed.
All the sudden you’re looking at; how do we fill our grid? And then you’ve got this other rival series and you know, in a sport that is trying to grow and feels like it’s got a runway to do that. It would completely fracture it and I think I think it plays out very much like IndyCar.
Jordan Bianchi said.
The comment from Bianchi shows a potential dark future that is ahead of NASCAR if things went south. It would be interesting to see how things would turn out and it is okey to assume the extreme circumstance Bianchi warned about is a distant possibility that won’t happen.
