Nobody Wins the Lawsuit. Except the Teams Totally Did.
Dec 1300:55:49Tap to summarizeAnd, just like that - the lawsuit is over. NASCAR may have settled, but we talk about why the teams still won - and how the sport could change going forward. Plus - we discuss whether Bass Pro Shops helped make this happen, if the Steves will be the scapegoats, and if NASCAR is actually capable of doing things differently.The Rundown:- The settlement - who gets what, both confirmed and rumored- Evergreen Charters - will it make a difference?- 23XI/FRM get their charters back- More money likely on the way, but probably not from the TV deal- Was NASCAR scared of the jury...or the sponsors? (Spoiler alert - they should have been scared of both)- How does NASCAR fix their image with the teams and with the fans?- Week 2 Testimony - the big-name owners all admit they signed under duress- Jim France gets caught up on the stand- NASCAR clearly underestimated the teams case, and their own witness preparation- NASCAR News: Rick Ware Racing to Chevy.
