O'Donnell conceded to the fact. His threats to take legal action against the SRX series were also a point in favour of 23XI.JGR co-owner Heather Graham's testimony proved to be powerful as well, as she addressed the tight deadlines for the charter negotiations, describing the whole ordeal as having a 'gun to your head'.Next up was Michael Jordan's time to take the witness stand. He praised the France family for their contributions to the sport, but claimed that NASCAR lacks governance, permanent charters and fair payouts.That said, Sports Business Journal writer Adam Stern shared an interaction between Jordan and Bloomberg Law, writing,"During a break after opening statements, Jordan told Bloomberg Law he was '100%' confident his team would win the trial after efforts to reach a settlement didn’t come through. 'I would have settled if I thought a settlement was worthwhile.'"Michael Jordan had also opened up about buying a third charter amid such circumstances. Jordan shared that he likes to win and wanted a third charter to improve the team's chances in the title fight.Michael Jordan's testimony earns the praise of NASCAR insiderMichael Jordan's opening statements included his love for the sport as a Richard Petty fan. He later went over his earnest intentions to bring a positive change in the sport.NASCAR insider Danielle Trotta shared a quote from Jordan's testimony and commented on the matter.“The thing I'm hoping for is you create more of a partnership between two entities. If that's the case, it becomes a more valuable business. If you can ever compromise on the things that matter, you can grow your business," Jordan told the court."People continually saying “I don’t see how any good can come from this trial” This quote from MJ on stand from @jeff_gluck article feels like it gets all the way down to the root. Call me idealistic, but I’ve always felt good can come out of this trial if both sides can find true common ground and build a healthy relationship with each other,” Trotta wrote.Michael Jordan has been present throughout the trail as 23XI and FRM's corporate representative.
