Overview

• 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports filed for a temporary restraining order and renewed preliminary injunction on July 14 to retain their six charters through the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.
• Their court filing references a newly disclosed NASCAR letter indicating an immediate intent to sell or reissue the teams’ charters before the antitrust suit reaches a conclusion.
• NASCAR branded the motion baseless, stated it has received no settlement proposal from the teams, and plans to remove their charters at the upcoming Dover race weekend.
• If stripped of charters, both organizations would have to qualify on speed, receive a reduced percentage of the purse, and could face sponsor penalties or obligations to refund payments.
• This latest legal move follows the Fourth Circuit’s June decision vacating their charter protections and comes just days before their current agreements expire.
