Denny Hamlin, along with Michael Jordan the co-owner of 23XI Racing, for the first time is not guaranteeing their team will field cars at the start of the next season. His indecision at Phoenix Raceway came a day after a federal judge denied a temporary injunction that would have recognized 23XI and Front Row Motorsports as chartered teams as they continue their antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR and chairman Jim France.

The 43-year-old had a rough start wearing his racing hat/helmet over the weekend at Martinsville, crashing in practice, missing qualifying, and starting from the back of the field. To the veteran driver's credit, when the checkered flag fell, he finished fifth.

This comes with a significant loss of revenue, and none of their cars will be locked into any race. It's a cloud over championship weekend where 23XI Racing is making its Championship 4 debut with Tyler Reddick.
