Denny Hamlin accuses media channel of distorting 23XI attorney's statements amid NASCAR antitrust lawsuit

Denny Hamlin has accused SiriusXM NASCAR Radio of distorting the statements made by the attorney of 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsport. The co-owner of 23XI posted about this on X.

Dave Moody sat with attorney Jeffrey Kessler recently on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90 to chat about the ongoing charter tussle between NASCAR and the Cup Series teams. Moody invited Kessler to speak right after 23XI and FRM filed an antitrust lawsuit against the sport's governing body.

There, Kessler, who represented the two teams, spoke about their stance against NASCAR. However, the aftermath of this did not go well with Denny Hamlin, who shared his disapproval on social media. The JGR driver accused Channel 90 of censoring important facts that Kessler had put forward.

Here's what Denny Hamlin wrote on X:

"While censorship is a big topic in today’s media world, Channel 90 might be the poster child. An interview didn’t go the way they hoped after our attorney continued to state fact after fact even tho they tried their best to refute, they have since edited/deleted that interview off of their channels because the narrative doesn’t fit their beliefs. If that doesn’t convince you of the bias then nothing will."

Dave Moody, the host of SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90 is yet to share his side of the story and react to it.

As 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsport have filed a lawsuit against NASCAR, the governing body is likely to respond. In such a situation, if the Cup Series teams lose the lawsuit, would they lose all their charters and exit from the sport? Here's what Jeffrey Kessler shared.

Kessler, speaking about this, revealed that the teams will do their best to stay in NASCAR. Going by his words, he seems confident about winning the lawsuit. Here is what he stated, via Adam Stern on X:

"Asked whether 23XI may exit @NASCAR if it doesn't get the result it's looking for, Curtis Polk let Jeffrey Kessler answer: "They are going to do their best to keep competing as long as they can, and we expect it to end in a legal victory or settlement that transforms this sport."

23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsport were the only two Cup Series teams that did not agree to NASCAR's latest charter deal.
