Hendrick, Penske Seek Limits on Depositions in 23XI/Front Row Antitrust Case Against NASCAR

The judge’s ruling will determine how much of their testimony reaches the jury.

Overview

  • Rick Hendrick and Roger Penske filed motions to restrict questioning or avoid broad testimony, asking the court to confine any examination to topics covered in their prior declarations.
  • The motions invoke a June 25 order that allows only anonymous, untraceable non‑party financial data, arguing expansive questioning could enable reverse‑engineering of team identities.
  • Both owners were deposed earlier in the week after the court granted 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports permission to take their depositions.
  • Plaintiffs say NASCAR added the owners to its witness list after discovery closed and argue the owners’ declarations support claims of NASCAR’s monopoly power in premier stock‑car racing.
  • The owners also requested remote appearances and narrow topic limits, with the court yet to decide as the case advances toward a December 1 jury trial.
