Would they be blocked if they were being sold to teams other than 23X1 and FRM?It's already happening to a certain extent. SHR's Charter sales have been blocked.

I believe as it stands NASCAR has to approve the sale of their charters.Would they be blocked if they were being sold to teams other than 23X1 and FRM?
The win and you are in, points champion, the whole ball of wax applies. But they aren't going to get charter money unless they can get an injunction.
Attempt to qualify. To the rear with a backup.Imagine if they win a race and get in then fail to qualify for a playoff race.
Oh but it does.Correct. Doesn’t answer the question.
Okay, why that way instead of teams having direct ownership and control of sales / transfer?Charter trading should be managed from within. That when a Charter is given up. It should go back to NASCAR, and NASCAR or an independent group manage the sale and transfer of each Charter.
Quoting from NASCAR's response to 23FR's injunction request:Filed response to preliminary injunction motion.
Interesting.Second, Plaintiffs’ demand for a 2025 Charter contradicts their Complaint, which calls the Charter anticompetitive. This defies Fourth Circuit precedent, which firmly establishes that claiming a contract “violates the Sherman Act cannot, as a matter of law, support an injunction requiring [the defendant] to remain involuntarily in a contractual business relationship with [the plaintiff].”
That would seem to be statistically unlikely. Only eight races in the 2022-24 seasons have had full 40-car fields. (Six of those eight races were at Daytona or Talladega.) Only the three D500s had more than 40 entries; two cars went home in each of those. Indeed, in '22 and '23, the D500s were the only races with 40 cars. While there were six full-field races this year so far, that's skewed slightly by the entry of part-timer SVG in selected races.Imagine if they win a race and get in then fail to qualify for a playoff race.
