Overview

• 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports filed the motion on Friday, arguing NASCAR’s counterclaims lack legal and factual merit.
• NASCAR’s March 5 filing accused the teams and 23XI co-owner Curtis Polk of collusive tactics, including threatened boycotts and coordinated pressure in 2025 charter talks.
• The teams say discovery shows no agreement to restrain trade and note NASCAR pursued individual negotiations for the charter terms.
• They call the counterclaims retaliatory and challenge the attempt to single out Polk, pointing to NASCAR’s own timeline for the charter system.
• The motion cites NASCAR’s internal “Gold Codes” planning and argues revenue-share changes were needed as most chartered teams lost money in 2024.
