NASCAR Freezes 2025 Charter Moves as 23XI and Front Row Press Injunction

Plaintiffs say a temporary freeze does not prevent contract and sponsorship harm before the Dec. 1 jury trial.

Overview

  • New court filings show NASCAR will not issue, sell, convey, or lease any additional charters for the 2025 Cup season and will limit 2026 additions to no more than four.
  • 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports filed an 11-page response Tuesday arguing they still need a preliminary injunction restoring six charters due to ongoing irreparable harm.
  • Counsel for the teams said 23XI driver Tyler Reddick has notified the team of a breach under a clause tied to charter status, and sponsors have raised similar concerns.
  • A ruling on the renewed injunction request is expected this week as the antitrust case stays on track for a Dec. 1 jury trial in the Western District of North Carolina.
  • The lawsuit challenges NASCAR’s charter system; an earlier injunction was vacated on appeal, discovery has revealed internal messages from NASCAR officials, and other chartered teams have voiced frustration over the dispute’s impact on valuations.
