NASCAR has authorized 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to sign an agreement to operate as open teams without affecting their antitrust lawsuit process. Both teams argue they need to operate as chartered teams to avoid competitive disadvantages and have requested an injunction that would allow them to maintain this status.
On November 12, both teams filed an appeal after a judge denied their request to operate as chartered teams while the lawsuit is ongoing. The court determined the plaintiffs did not meet the legal standards required for an injunction but left room for a renewed request if conditions change. Additionally, the court expedited the process, setting specific deadlines for NASCAR's responses and the course of litigation.
The case, which focuses on NASCAR's charter system agreements, raises questions about competitive fairness and operational rules. NASCAR contends that teams must compete as open entries if they have not signed the charter agreement, and the outcome could impact the series' competitive model.
