NBA legend Michael Jordan’s antitrust battle with NASCAR – WaPost
“Michael Jordan loves NASCAR but not the way it’s run. Now he’s trying to do something about it.”
“Stock-car racing is not run the way the National Football League or Major League Baseball operates, with a group of team owners working together as part of a league, choosing a commissioner to oversee things and together staying accountable on all rules and regulations. The “league” of NASCAR is owned by the France family, which includes their controlling stake in most of the tracks that the drivers run on. Since 1948, competing in NASCAR has meant doing things the France way, with the family pocketing a great deal of the profits, and drivers racing for winnings each weekend.”
