NASCAR and two teams, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, have clashed in federal court over antitrust allegations.
A federal judge has denied NASCAR’s motions to dismiss an antitrust lawsuit filed against the stock car series.
A new court filing says NASCAR rejected Front Row Motorsports’ agreement to purchase a charter from Stewart-Haas Racing unless the team and 23XI Racing dropped their federal antitrust lawsuit against the stock car series.
The two teams suing NASCAR over an antitrust complaint said Saturday they will compete in 2025 as “open teams” after the sanctioning body removed anticompetitive release claims that will allow them to race while the legal process continues.
