US EditionJudge Dismisses NASCAR's Counterclaim, Sides with 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports
Judge Kenneth Bell dismissed NASCAR's counterclaim citing individual negotiations and minimal impact from a boycott, with a trial over charter disputes set for Dec. 1.
- On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Bell dismissed NASCAR's counterclaim, granting summary judgment for 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports and rejecting collusion claims against Curtis Polk.
- The lawsuit filed by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports alleges NASCAR used monopoly power to control team revenue and independence after both refused charter extensions last year.
- The charter system guarantees 36 race spots and revenue-sharing, with Curtis Polk part of a negotiating team that secured last year's deal signed by 13 teams individually.
- Bell must also rule on two other summary-judgment motions, and NASCAR said it respects the court's decision though it respectfully disagrees and intends to appeal if no resolution is reached.
- The trial on December 1, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina remains set after mediation last week failed, and a victory for 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports could overhaul Cup Series revenue-sharing.
