All the NASCAR talk down in Charlotte right now appears to be about Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin - but it is not just about them.
It is important to remember as the trial of the century continues that there are two teams - not one - taking on the France dynasty in a high-profile antitrust suit.
23XI Racing - co-owned by Jordan and Hamlin - and Front Row Motorsports are the teams in question as they bid to significantly alter how the sport works. Particularly for competing teams.
It was Hamlin who made the biggest headlines on Monday and Tuesday, spending four hours on the stand - including three hours of cross-examination. It was intense stuff, and even included Denny revealing just how much he earns driving for Joe Gibbs Racing.
We also found out that 23XI and Front Row are seeking $205million in damages over the way they claim to have been treated by NASCAR.
While that apparently would represent a 900 percent return on investment for MJ, Denny and 23XI - it is a very different story for Front Row.
Shocking Front Row losses confirmed
It was FRM owner Bob Jenkins who made the big reveal in his deposition to court, revealing that he has lost more than $100million overall in running a NASCAR team - some $60million of that in the last 10 years alone.
Jenkins also revealed in his deposition that it was likely only the intervention of 23XI which led to him also taking on NASCAR in court. Had Jordan and co signed their charter for 2025 and beyond, Jenkins likely would have followed suit.
He said: "I have my own beliefs. I'm a fairly independent guy. And I think they felt similar to how I felt. I did realize I couldn't take this on on my own.
“So had they signed, I would have probably had to have signed, and then, just perhaps, sold my charters or got out of the sport at some point."
