Denny Hamlin says future of 23XI Racing at Daytona 500 and Clash is uncertain

Denny Hamlin stated that the future of 23XI Racing's participation in the Daytona 500 and Clash is uncertain. This follows a recent court ruling that denied the team's request to keep their charters amid an ongoing antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR. The team may have to compete as 'open' teams in 2025, which would significantly reduce their revenue and lock-in status for races. This situation arises as 23XI Racing prepares for its Championship 4 debut with driver Tyler Reddick. Hamlin expressed concern over the team's future, noting the emotional and financial investment made over the past four years. He highlighted the challenges faced by the team and the uncertainty surrounding their competitive status in NASCAR.
