Overview

  • 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports filed for a temporary restraining order and a renewed preliminary injunction on July 14 to keep their NASCAR charters active through the 2025 season.
  • The motion cites a confidential NASCAR letter revealing plans to immediately sell or reissue the teams’ six charters before the antitrust lawsuit is resolved.
  • NASCAR dismissed the request as baseless and has urged the plaintiffs to submit a settlement proposal instead of pursuing further legal motions.
  • Without charters, the teams’ drivers would lose guaranteed race entries, face qualifying on speed, receive smaller purse shares, and may need to return prize money from earlier races.
  • The filing follows a Fourth Circuit ruling that vacated prior injunctive relief, and comes alongside a separate charter lease dispute between Rick Ware Racing and Legacy Motor Club in North Carolina court.
