The specific impeachment part focused on Prime saying teams never asked for more than 25% of tv money in the 2016 charter negotiations. Kessler showed a letter sent to then-NASCAR Preside talking about inequity of tv distribution.

Kessler pushed back against multiple statements made by Prime under oath, even going so far to submit a document for impeachment purposes. This was denied, but Judge Bell told Kessler he had accomplished his mission.

•acknowledged to Jeffrey Kessler that he had written options for teams not agreeing to terms. This included giving a deadline to teams to sign charters and then offering to other interested parties. Likened it to a gun to the head. Then told NASCAR that they didn’t have a take it or leave it offer.
