Jeff Gluck believes that Jeffrey Kesler effectively used examples and self-deprecation to help the jury understand the complexities of the antitrust case.

“I thought that Jeffrey Kesler's explanation of all these issues helped distill it down and help me understand, oh, okay, like that's why this argument is being made or that's why they're going for this”

Jordan Bianchi believes NASCAR's choice of a lawyer with a Southern accent for opening statements was a strategic move to better connect with a Charlotte-based jury.

“This man has a southern accent and this is a Charlotte jury. um versus going up against a New York lawyer. I would have to think, hey, let's get this, you know, guy who >> one of us speaks more like you, is has the, you know, more downhome affect.”

The lawsuit is the most significant litigation in the history of NASCAR and will capture attention beyond the NASCAR fanbase.

“I think it is a trial of the century for sports separate from it being NASCAR. It's obviously the biggest litigation that will ever happen in NASCAR.”
