A United States appeals court on Thursday vacated a preliminary injunction that allowed Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing and another NASCAR team to be treated as chartered teams, putting the teams' futures in NASCAR in question.

A federal appeals court ruled in favor of NASCAR on Thursday in the sanctioning body’s ongoing legal battle with Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports. The Fourth Circuit of Appeals in North Carolina overturned an injunction that allowed the teams to race as chartered teams as their lawsuit against NASCAR proceeded.

During the May hearing, judges had warned the teams their claim came across as “having your cake and eating it, too.”
