Lots of spice in courtroom today including Michael Jordan calling JGR “F——“ in 23XI text chain for signing charters and other teams “P——“ … Denny Hamlin, in a text, said his “despise of the France family runs deep.” https://t.co/Q2HUYmsj8S

There also was text chain of NASCAR executives and the Frances, after a meeting over a draft of charter agreement, where Steve O’Donnell characterized it as a “f— the teams” that would bring the sport back to Southern roots, tiny sport of 1996. https://t.co/DYuwW3NcYH

A humorous text exchange between Curtis Polk and Michael Jordan that NASCAR included today: pic.twitter.com/N6HEmu1DrF

For clarification purposes
I will note this was Steve O'Donnell saying that the deal needs to be better for the teams, that he didn't agree with the draft. https://t.co/b22avg4tI3

That's gotta piss off France.
This was from a text thread between Denny Hamlin and 23XI president Steve Lauletta in discussing investment in the sport strategy. https://t.co/bl9Ei6OARZ pic.twitter.com/YdoBcJaW1E

Nice save by Blaney
Cindric gets into Dillon. Classic battle of which nepotism is currently stronger.
Pretty damn impressive by Briscoe. 2 Southern 500's in a row!
What a push by Reddick.

One heck of a run for Briscoe tonight. Tip of the hat.
Snoozer of a race.
I was hoping Reddick could have won if only for the fireworks within NASCAR and the France family.
They might be so pissed off right now that they would have torn the 45 apart during post race inspection and if they had found something DQed them.

The judge, in his order, says he would consider any new charters issued between now and the end of the trial to be charters 37-40 and not the six charters under dispute by 23XI/FRM. https://t.co/sw4WHunAIT

Also in ruling: "the loss of the “fixed” Charter payouts and the uncertainty of ongoing relationships with drivers and sponsors can either be compensated with money damages at trial or is simply inherent in the risks associated with the lawsuit." https://t.co/EI5iISwKMS

And this in ruling: "The uncertainty about what the 2026 season will look like unfortunately exists not just for the Parties, but for the other teams, drivers, crews, sponsors, broadcasters and, most regrettably, the fans." https://t.co/5wTGe1HsLh

In the media center, @Daniel_SuarezG is making waffles as part of his Choice Hotels sponsorship. He gave me one but then joked it’s $5 because “I don’t have a job right now.” 😆 pic.twitter.com/4MG6zelqZH

Damn we had great action and Ty just hit the wall. 3 different pit strategies going.
I don't get Brad's justification for staying out. He was just a speed bump that let Hamlin get away.
Berry eliminated

Along with everyone's tires. I bet nascar execs are on speed dial with Discount Tire wanting to know of they can buy any tires.
I’m entertained, yeah. Am I supposed to feel bad? 😬 pic.twitter.com/aEPuVJahlT

After opening stage, clinch scenarios of what they need to do as far as points needed no matter what anybody else does .... Blaney 6 (31st if no additional stage points), Byron 11 (26th), Reddick 21 (16th), Bell 26 (11th), Elliott 30 (7th), Logano 37, Chastain 39

Bowman has to win as it's unrealistic to catch Chastain and CIndric
Blaney has clinched a spot in the next round ... so now five drivers have advanced: Briscoe, Hamlin, Larson, Wallace, Blaney
— Bob Pockrass (@bobpockrass) September 14, 2025
Elliott wrecks. Could drop out with a new winner
If Elliott doesn't return, he'll be 38th. He'll be OK to advance, I believe, unless Austin Dillon (32nd, 3 laps down) finishes top-7 or SVG (36th, 4 laps down) finishes top-three or Bowman wins.

John Hunter won't be getting any X Mas cards from Mr H or Chase.
And Hamlin didn't help.
And Hamlin didn't help.
Bubba stayed out too long and caused a wreck. I don't get that. He was getting freight trained because he was out of tires and he was already locked in. Just get off the track, change tires and don't mess up the race for guys still trying to race.
Buescher needs to catch Gibbs and punt him.
Gibbs missed pit road
Keselowski did that TJ himself. All the different speeds out there and he caused the wreck from the front.
Bowman has his chance.
Bowman has his chance.
Nope. Bad call. Should have taken tires.
Gibbs and Toyota dominated the R16 like nobody's business.
Bowman didn't have tires to take. What killed him was no stage points and of course NASCAR allowing Cindric to keep his playoff points after that right rear hook on Dillon.

I missed the entire race yesterday. Need to find a good recap. Sounds like a lot of action.
I wonder if someone is going to gamble with 2 tires.
Elliott wasn't aggressive enough there on 4 tires, but that should help him try and catch Bell
That's the strangest thing I have ever seen.
