US EditionJudge Denies 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports' Request to Race with Charters
KENT COUNTY, DELAWARE, JUL 17 – Judge denies temporary restraining order, forcing 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to race as open entries without guaranteed charter benefits this season, risking financial stability.
- On July 18, 2025, a federal judge declined 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports' request to continue competing with charters at Dover Motor Speedway.
- The denial followed a federal antitrust lawsuit filed last year by the two teams after rejecting NASCAR's seven-year charter extension, with a trial set for December 1.
- As a result, six drivers from these teams will compete as open entries, losing guaranteed starting spots and receiving less revenue during races in Dover and Indianapolis over the next 14 days.
- Judge Bell determined that the teams failed to demonstrate immediate harm since their participation in upcoming races is guaranteed; additionally, NASCAR has committed to refraining from transferring any charters until the court issues a decision on the preliminary injunction.
- This ruling threatens the financial stability of 23XI and Front Row since open teams earn less than a third of charter teams' money and risk losing drivers and sponsors, while the lawsuit continues.
