NASCAR Chairman Jim France has testified in Michael Jordan’s federal antitrust lawsuit against his family that he still has not changed his mind on granting teams permanent charters.

NASCAR Commissioner Steve Phelps says the organization is working hard to settle a federal antitrust lawsuit with 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports.

NASCAR President Steve Phelps defended the four drivers racing for the Cup Series championship even though others had better statistics than the finalists.

The season was suspended March 13 after just four of 36 races had been completed. Nobody makes any money unless NASCAR runs its races and the sport was desperate to get back to work. When the Cup champion is crowned at Phoenix Raceway, all three of NASCAR's national series will have completed their full season. “What we have done during this global pandemic is I think nothing short of remarkable,” Phelps added.

The governing body vowed to to do a better job of addressing racial injustice in the wake of George Floyd's death. Our country must do better.A black NASCAR official took a knee along pit road, mimicking a gesture used by protesters in tribute to former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The time is now to listen, to understand and to stand against racism and racial injustice, Phelps said. After Phelps spoke to the NASCAR drivers, they observed a 30-second moment of silence. ___Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at https://twitter.com/pnewberry1963 and find his work at https://apnews.com___More AP NASCAR: https://apnews.com/NASCAR and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
