23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

When reading the emails from the teams and from Nascar, Nascar had posted doomsday actions before entering the bunker. Most of it were actions to take to limit serious damage to the series and or make themselves a hard target for a takeover. Having the teams under contract and restricting their ability to race in ANY racing series but theirs was their way of nipping that in the bud.
Once again, it is in the realm of possibility that 23XI along with other investors simply could hold races, pay very well, and use Nascar's drivers and equipment to do so if Nascar didn't have non competitive contracts for teams and equipment.

So this is all based on the potential of a possible threat? Boy that sounds thin.

If a racetrack wants to hold a Nascar race, agreements have to be made. It has to pass requirements for safety, the purse payments have to be finalized, and in some cases agreements not to hold stock car like competing events for a period of time. That doesn't stop them from having concerts, car shows, other racing series etc.

Its literally not an opinion. They control the market by making it so tracks that have NASCAR races have to have approval to hold any other stock car series. Yes those tracks can say no, but then they would lose their races. NASCAR is using that leverage to be able to prevent another series from having use of proper race tracks. Sure they are other tracks, but the sizes of them are small, and the safety ar some arent up to a proper standard for a legitimate racing series.

If you knew your ass from a hole in the ground you would already know judge Bell ruled that Nascar was a monopoly. I'll let you figure out the rest of it Einstein. Hint. Read part 2 of the Sherman act.

Do anyone know if the France and Hamlin families are on Wal Mart Christmas Gift Registry. This year could be tough on the families and they could go without due to implications caused by the
monopolies, cabuls, cartels, and other big words.

Maybe, I should go see if there is a GoFundMe account for them.....

Don't worry about it. The lawyers for both sides are giving 'Thank You!!!' gifts to everyone involved.
 


Basically, NASCAR's counter suit that the local France Family Defense Force here are so enamored with does have a fatal flaw: it basically acknowledges NASCAR's position in the market of professional stock car racing. This guy went so far as to say that NASCAR fell into a trap by filing it. I'm sure this will be rationally responded to.

Very interesting commentary from a law professor. Indeed, appears NASCAR’s legal team inadvertently cited a market definition too similar to how the plaintiff’s defined it. Made it easy for judge Bell to take his positions on that portion.

The commentator did acknowledge Bell’s judgements increase pressure on NASCAR to settle. However, the primary rulings that will be determined by a jury are a bigger mountain for the plaintiff’s to climb. NASCAR must be proven to have purposely restricted commerce, entry and used monopolistic practices. This burden falls to the plaintiff’s and cannot be validated by simple claims of NASCAR purchasing tracks.

I still believe this is likely settled prior to trial.

I don't think it will be settled before the trial FWIW. I believe if the trial is held in Charlotte there are enough people who are knowledgeable about the racing business to overcome the bias. Bell has done his best to sway the case towards 23XI with his judgements, he has shown that from the first ruling. Bell has inserted himself into the negotiations, denied a motion to get a different negotiator, narrowed the case down when 23XI was all over the place on what they were suing for to one small area and he has steered this case into an area that if they say Nascar is a monopoly then all of the major racing series are monopolies.

Some of you guys need to stop getting so mad at this and just laugh like I do.

That Charlotte court will be fair, until they make a ruling you don't like then it's going to be "they are so bias"

There is a reason I never comment on your posts. All you want to do is argue. Like I said earlier, go find somebody else to argue with.

I'm free to comment on anything I want. It's called having a discussion, this is a discussion board. If you can't handle it then that's not my problem.

The following comment is not directed at @Conover.

Now, can we please stop hearing about how the teams' lawyers don't know what they're doing because they have experience with stick and ball cases? Because if they are incompetent, are NASCAR's suits even less qualified?

And admit being incorrect earlier? Surely, you jest! I'm already getting myself ready for the spin when the settlement comes through.

Knowing our interactions here, you probably haven't heard about the folks out here that believe that they will be made not only whole but unimaginably rich somehow by Bed Bath and Beyond. Yes, Bed Bath and Beyond, the defunct retail company that went bankrupt and closed all their stores. There are still people who got hoodwinked on 4Chan and Twitter and elsewhere into believing that investing into a collapsing Bed Bath And Beyond would result in a series of events which would effectively upend the entire global economy and make them demigods who are unimaginably rich. Gamestop has the same cult thing happening. My point here is that those people have in some cases become financially ruined and destitute as a result of these highly speculative investments and objectively the company they invested in with Bed Bath and Beyond no longer even exists and it's debt effectively wiped away. Those are all facts. They don't care about the facts. They're in for the delusion all the way. I expect the same here. Even when NASCAR hands away charters forever, somehow it will be NASCAR who can and will win one day.

No, not when the judge denies every motion Nascar has made, has been overruled by a higher court, and continues to steer the case in the direction he wants it to go. Right now Nascar has been judged to be a monopoly by Bell. That is where I see we are at.
Where they are going if it goes to trial after Judge Bell recognized that Nascar functioned as a monopoly is did Nascar function as an illegal monopoly.
Bell is the one that defined the market. A narrowly defined market.
“The Court finds that the relevant market is properly defined as premier stock-car racing in the United States and that NASCAR holds 100 percent of that market share. The question of whether NASCAR’s conduct constitutes unlawful monopolization remains for trial.”

Yeah, couldn't even really get that either I suppose given that the response literally starts with "no," lmao.

Just as my post wasn't directed at Conover, it wasn't aimed at SOI either. I may disagree with him on aspects of this topic, but I can't question his judgement overall; there have been too many other subjects where I've agreed with him.

Unlike your example of meme stocks, no one here has anything on the line.

What part of this sentence do you believe is incorrect or "biased"?

Can you blame them? The money nascar is paying these tracks to put on races makes up the vast majority of their yearly income to cover improvements and operational costs. Why would you let someone else profit off that? Tracks quit caring about ticket money years ago, now all they care about it tv money.

Anyone that's paying a subcontractor that kind of money would want a level of exclusivity, thats just how business works.
