NASCAR Faces Antitrust Lawsuit Over Charter Agreement Dispute

XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports seek legal relief to continue racing amid allegations of NASCAR's monopolistic practices.

NASCAR is being sued by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports for alleged antitrust violations related to its charter agreement system.
The lawsuit claims NASCAR exercises monopolistic control that limits competition and unfairly binds teams to its terms and conditions.
23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports have filed for a preliminary injunction to compete as chartered teams in 2025 while the lawsuit is ongoing.
NASCAR has opposed the injunction, arguing that the teams can race as open entries and that financial compensation is adequate.
The court hearing for the injunction has been postponed to November 4 due to disruptions caused by Hurricane Milton.
