JGR co-owner Heather Gibbs broke down how NASCAR's tight deadlines for the charter negotiations weren't 'fair for the teams'. She shared that JGR was forced to ink the deal without much room to object.Gibbs was a highly anticipated witness in the antitrust trial. During an episode of The Teardown podcast, legal expert Shannon McMinimee shed light on the importance of Gibbs' testimony. Gibbs had sent in an 'impassioned letter' asking for evergreen charters, but Jim France's expletive-filled response paints him in a rather poor light.McMinimee noted that this may be used against NASCAR leadership, as Gibbs isn't tied to either 23XI or FRM, making her a neutral witness in the whole ordeal. As such, Gibbs took the witness stand and outlined the moments that led up to the charter deal.NASCAR analyst Bob Pockrass shared excerpts from the testimony on X, writing,"Heather Gibbs on deadline to sign: “Everything’s going so fast. that’s the legacy of Coy. That’s the legacy of J.D. … If we don’t take the payout they are offering, we can’t keep going. .. It’s like you have a gun to your head. If you don’t sign it … everything is gone.”"More Heather Gibbs on JGR leadership deciding to sign charter with midnight deadline: “We said we have to sign this. We can’t lose this. We have too many employees. … I did not think it’s a fair deal for the teams.”Bob Pockrass @bobpockrassLINKHeather Gibbs on deadline to sign: “Everything’s going so fast. that’s the legacy of Coy. That’s the legacy of J.D. … If we don’t take the payout they are offering, we can’t keep going. .. It’s like you have a gun to your head. If you don’t sign it … everything is gone.”NASCAR's take-it-or-leave-it approach to charter negotiations closely aligns with monopolistic practices. A lack of alternatives allows the sanctioning body to impose its will on the sport. If the jury ends up believing the same, the sport will be in for a major overhaul.NASCAR president Steve O'Donnell stumbles over Heather Gibbs' questionNASCAR president Steve O'Donnell was grilled about his transcript of Jim France's rant against Heather Gibbs. The executive, however, couldn't give a straight answer on the sequence of events.Motorsports journalist Joseph Srigley detailed the interaction on X. When 23XI's attorney, Jefferey Kessler, asked about France's swearing, O'Donnell replied,"I wrote that, but he didn't swear.""If he wasn't swearing, what made you conclude swearing would be appropriate?," Kessler retorted."I don't know," O'Donnell said."Then how do you not know he wasn't swearing if you can't remember?," concluded Kessler.Steve O'Donnell had to endure many more tough questions during his cross-questioning. He was confronted over his internal texts against Tony Stewart's Superstar Racing Experience Series. He was also asked about NASCAR-owned tracks having non-compete clauses that prevented rival series from accessing them.O'Donnell responded that the clauses were put in place to extract the most TV revenue for teams and tracks. Notably, when SRX first premiered, the series gained more viewership than the Xfinity and Truck Series.
