NASCAR Files Antitrust Counterclaim Against 23XI, Front Row Motorsports

News summary

NASCAR has filed a counterclaim against 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, alleging that they engaged in anticompetitive conduct in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The suit asserts that co-owner Curtis Polk and the teams conspired to pressure NASCAR into accepting their terms during charter negotiations and conducted a media campaign against NASCAR. This legal battle began in October 2024 when the teams accused NASCAR of monopolizing stock car racing and subsequently sought a preliminary injunction to remain chartered for the 2025 season. NASCAR's lead attorney emphasized that the teams' actions represent a violation of antitrust laws, alleging they sought to exploit the situation for more favorable contract terms. The ongoing dispute reflects broader tensions in the sport regarding charter agreements and team ownership dynamics. As the case progresses, NASCAR is pushing for an injunction to eliminate guaranteed entry provisions tied to the teams' charters if they persist in their claims against the league.
