NASCAR President Steve O'Donnell admits to feeling threatened by the SRX Series, according to a lawsuit filed by 23XI and FRM. The lawsuit alleges that NASCAR is using its power to monopolize the sport and prevent drivers and teams from competing elsewhere. O'Donnell's concerns stem from the increasing similarity between SRX and NASCAR, as evidenced by text messages from NASCAR executives expressing displeasure with drivers and team owners racing in SRX. One executive even referred to SRX as 'trash' and suggested putting a 'knife' in it. O'Donnell's testimony highlights the tension between the two racing series, with NASCAR taking legal action to protect its dominance. The lawsuit also reveals that NASCAR blocked SRX from racing at a Speedway Motorsports track, citing exclusivity clauses and a desire to retain revenue for teams. The case is ongoing, with NASCAR's legal team questioning O'Donnell about his concerns and the potential impact on the sport.
