2 The legal battle has been heating up, and now it seems like the teams are gearing up for their next move. With everything on the line, including the future of chartered and unchartered entries, the stakes couldn’t be higher. NASCAR’s system could face major scrutiny depending on how things play out, and the teams aren’t backing down just yet. They’ve made it clear—they plan to keep fighting. But what’s their next step?
23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports find themselves fighting back against NASCAR with full force
23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports are not giving up on their legal fight against NASCAR, despite facing a major setback in court. Bob Pockrass has been closely following the case, and the latest development is that the teams have filed to appeal a key ruling. Legal battle over NASCAR’s charter system hits new phase as 23XI and Front Row Motorsports fight on
A U.S. District Judge recently denied their request for a preliminary injunction, which would have allowed them to race as unchartered teams in the 2025 season while the case was still ongoing. This decision is a big blow to the teams, who are accusing NASCAR of anticompetitive practices tied to the 2025 charter agreement.
Even though the teams didn’t get the win they hoped for in this round, they’re not backing down. The two teams are backed up against a wall and are now moving forward with plans to challenge the ruling in the Court of Appeals.
23XI and Front Row Motorsports have filed a formal notice in US District Court that it will appeal the denial of the preliminary injunction to the U.S. Court of Appeals.

The lawsuit itself is focused on NASCAR’s negotiation tactics and how they believe those tactics are unfairly limiting competition in the sport. If the teams succeed in their appeal, it could have a huge impact on how NASCAR runs its business moving forward.
This is a building piece. Stay tuned for updates.
