NASCAR requests hearing in May on lawsuit appeal

Today at 04:33 AM

NASCAR is officially moving forward with an appeal to the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Virginia over a district judge‘s decision to grant 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports charter status this season concurrent to suing the sanctioning body on antitrust grounds.

…

NASCAR has indicated that it will not seek to overturn the guaranteed starting spot recognition but will appeal being forced to pay the two teams the money associated with a charter the teams did not agree to terms to. That is why it is asking for oral arguments on May 15, well after the season ended.

It hopes to reach a decision in its favor before having to pay the two teams at the end of the season. NASCAR says the May 15 date has been agreed upon by the teams as well.
