Judge Rejects 23XI, Front Row Bid for Charter Injunction in NASCAR Antitrust Case

The judge said NASCAR's pledge to freeze disputed charters, with any sales limited to newly created slots, eliminates imminent harm before the December trial.

Overview

  • U.S. District Judge Kenneth D. Bell denied a preliminary injunction after finding NASCAR’s commitments removed the need for emergency relief.
  • NASCAR told the court it will hold the six disputed charters through the 2025 season and may issue up to four new ones numbered 37–40 for prospective entrants.
  • The order leaves 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports competing as open teams, with a jury trial set for Dec. 1 in Charlotte.
  • The teams say they still face irreparable harm, citing sponsor risk and a Tyler Reddick contract clause triggered by lack of charter status.
  • NASCAR previously informed current charter teams they could receive roughly $1.5 million per charter if the injunction was denied and related payments are redistributed.
