Judge rules against preliminary injunction for 23XI Racing, Front Row Motorsports vs. NASCAR
Yesterday at 01:41 PM
U.S. District Judge Frank D. Whitney ruled Friday against the preliminary injunction sought by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports.
The injunction would have allowed both Cup organizations to have competed as either a charter or an open team in 2025 without losing their right to continue their antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR.
Judge Whitney, in his decision, stated that 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports "have not met their burden as required for a preliminary injunction.
"Should circumstances change, Plaintiffs may file a renewed motion for preliminary injunction. Therefore, the Court denies Plaintiffs' motion without prejudice."
The decision was released as NASCAR President Steve Phelps was meeting with reporters as part of his state of the sport session at Phoenix Raceway. Phelps had no comment on the ruling.
