US EditionFederal Judges Rule in Favor of NASCAR in Lawsuit Filed by 23XI, Front Row
- On Thursday, a panel of three federal appellate judges ruled in NASCAR’s favor by overturning a preliminary injunction that had been issued for two race teams.
- The decision addressed an antitrust complaint brought last October by the NASCAR teams owned by Michael Jordan and Front Row, who declined to agree to new charter renewal contracts that thirteen other teams accepted the previous September.
- The injunction would have recognized 23XI and Front Row as chartered teams for the 2025 season, granting guaranteed starting spots and prize money, but the appeals court found no legal support for the argument that requiring past conduct releases violates antitrust law.
- The court determined that the plaintiffs had not demonstrated a strong likelihood of prevailing on the key legal issues, and highlighted that the teams have 14 days to seek a full panel review, while the trial remains set for December 1.
- If the ruling stands without appeal, NASCAR can treat 23XI and Front Row as non-chartered, requiring them to qualify on speed and receive reduced revenue, though both teams remain confident and committed to pursuing the case at trial.
