Judge Orders NASCAR Teams to Turn over Financial Data to Stock Car Series, Limits Details
- U.S. District Judge Kenneth Bell ruled on June 25, 2025, that 12 NASCAR teams must provide anonymized annual financial data dating back to 2014 to NASCAR for an ongoing antitrust lawsuit.
- This ruling follows disputes where NASCAR subpoenaed 13 teams, seeking detailed financial and communication records over 11 years, despite teams citing a charter agreement requiring mediation, not court, for disagreements.
- The data will exclude ancillary business revenues and non-Cup Series activities, be aggregated on a per-car basis, and handled by an independent accountant to protect team identities amid concerns over competitive harm.
- Attorney Adam Ross, representing 11 teams, described the subpoena as exceptionally wide-ranging and invasive, cautioning that revealing the requested information could severely harm both competitive fairness and the teams’ business interests.
- The ruling enables NASCAR to assess claims of financial burden under the charter agreement and sets a trial date for December 1, 2025, while underscoring ongoing tensions between NASCAR and its teams over transparency and competition.
