Bubba Wallace demanded a chartered car by 2025 or he would leave 23XI Racing. This ultimatum played a key role in a recent legal victory for 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports against NASCAR, securing them chartered status for the 2025 season.

It's been confirmed that Bubba Wallace told 23XI Racing that should the team fail to provide him with a chartered car by 2025, he would leave. This news forms a crucial part of a recent legal victory that 23XI Racing, along with Front Row Motorsport s, achieved against NASCAR .A U.S.
