迈克尔·乔丹因他并不陌生的事情——胜利，再次成为焦点。
乔丹的NASCAR车队23XI Racing本赛季表现强劲，在已进行的六场比赛中赢得四场，其中包括备受瞩目的代托纳500英里赛。但他的成功并不仅限于赛道。赛季开始前，乔丹与23XI Racing达成了一项可能重塑NASCAR未来的和解协议。NASCAR由法国家族私人拥有和控制。
“当我进入这项运动时，显然有很多……随着我了解得更多，有很多事情我并不满意。这项运动并没有为参与其中的个人长期成功而设计，”乔丹在接受《哥伦比亚广播公司早间新闻》联合主播盖尔·金采访时表示，金称这次采访酝酿了十年。
NASCAR于2016年推出了特许经营制度，类似特许经营模式，保证36支车队每站比赛都能参赛，并承诺提供“新的收入机会”。但在2024年10月提起的反垄断诉讼中，23XI Racing和Front Row Motorsports指控该制度具有垄断性。
2025年12月，NASCAR在这起反垄断案中达成具有里程碑意义的和解，为所有车队提供了永久特许经营权，并改善了条款——这对这项运动而言是重大结构性转变。
“这一结果让所有相关方都有灵活性和信心，继续为我们的车迷带来难忘的赛车时刻，自1948年这项运动创立以来，这一直是我们的最高优先事项。我们2016年与车队和赛道紧密合作创建了NASCAR特许经营制度，事实证明它对车队运营和整个杯赛系列的比赛质量都极为宝贵。今天的协议重申了我们保护和提升这一价值的承诺，确保我们的车迷在未来几代人都能享受最优质的纳斯卡赛车，”NASCAR董事长兼首席执行官吉姆·法国当时在一份声明中表示。
尽管和解的财务条款未完全披露，但乔丹表示，他是在为更多公平权益而战。
“[NASCAR高管]赚得盆满钵满，而那些表演的人却没有得到应有的认可，”乔丹说，他与车手丹尼·哈姆林共同拥有23XI Racing。
乔丹称，变革势在必行，他甚至愿意输掉诉讼并被逐出这项运动，以“唤醒一些人”，让他们认识到他认为NASCAR商业模式存在的问题。
“我一直是车迷。不是说我一觉醒来就说，‘你知道吗？我要去攻击NASCAR。’不，我一直参与NASCAR，长期以来都是它的支持者，”他说。
当法庭作证时，乔丹承认自己感到紧张。但他表示，从决定提起诉讼的那一刻起，他就“全力以赴”。
“我志在必得，积极争取胜利。你知道……我再次成为了一名竞争者，”乔丹补充道，如果他没有强有力的证据，他不会提起诉讼。

Michael Jordan explains why he was “all in” on NASCAR lawsuit and his vision for the sport
March 27, 2026 / 7:58 AM EDT / CBS News
Michael Jordan is back in the spotlight for something he’s no stranger to: winning.
Jordan’s NASCAR team, 23XI Racing, has been dominating this season, securing victories in four out of six races so far, including the prestigious Daytona 500. But his success isn’t just limited to the track. Before the season kicked off, Jordan and 23XI Racing scored a settlement that could reshape the future of NASCAR, which is privately owned and controlled by the France family.
“When I got into the sport obviously a lot — as I learned, there was a lot of things that I wasn’t really happy about. This sport was not set up for success long term for the individuals that’s involved in the sport,” Jordan told “CBS Mornings” co-anchor Gayle King during an interview she said was 10 years in the making.
NASCAR introduced a charter system in 2016, a franchise-like model that guaranteed 36 teams entry into each Cup Series race and promised them “new revenue opportunities.” But in the antitrust lawsuit filed in October 2024, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports argued the system was monopolistic.
In December 2025, NASCAR reached a landmark settlement in the antitrust case, giving all teams evergreen charters with improved terms – a major structural shift for the sport.
“This outcome gives all parties the flexibility and confidence to continue delivering unforgettable racing moments for our fans, which has always been our highest priority since the sport was founded in 1948. We worked closely with race teams and tracks to create the NASCAR charter system in 2016, and it has proven invaluable to their operations and to the quality of racing across the Cup Series. Today’s agreement reaffirms our commitment to preserving and enhancing that value, ensuring our fans continue to enjoy the very best of stock car racing for generations to come,” NASCAR chairman and CEO Jim France said in a statement at the time.
While the financial terms of the settlement were not fully disclosed, Jordan said that he was fighting for more equity.
“[NASCAR executives] were making a good living. And the people that were putting on the show was not getting the type of recognition,” Jordan, who co-owns 23XI Racing with driver Denny Hamlin, said.
Jordan said changes were necessary, and he was willing to lose the lawsuit and get kicked out of the sport to “wake up some people” about what he believed was wrong with NASCAR’s business model.
“I’ve been a fan. It’s not like I just woke up and said, ‘You know what? I’m going to go and I’m going to attack NASCAR.’ No, I’ve been involved in NASCAR. I’ve been a supporter for NASCAR for a long period of time,” he said..
When it came time to take the stand in court, Jordan admitted he felt nervous. But he said the moment he decided to file the lawsuit he was “all in.”
“I was aggressively going to win. You know … I became a competitor all over again,” said Jordan, adding that he wouldn’t have sued if he didn’t have a strong case.
