In a new court filing on Thursday, the Michael Jordan-owned 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports assert that NASCAR is “blaming subjects for asserting their competitive right” and that the two team should be given an order against NASCAR.
A situation involving blatant language from tycoon parties has a new market.
On Wednesday, a North Carolina federal district court announced that U. S. District Judge Frank D. Whitney—who next month denied the plaintiffs ‘ second motion for an injunction—is no longer assigned to the case. U. S. District Judge Kenneth D. Bell then presides. The walk, which was made without explanation, could change the timeframe for the prosecution. If no dismissed or settled, the case now contemplates an eight-to-10-month judicial finding period ending in drop 2025.
Without having to sign a contract agreement or release legitimate claims, 23XI Racing and Front Row ask for an order that would present the advantages of competing as a contract group, rather than an empty team. The two groups ‘ antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR and CEO Jim France, who they claim monopolizes the stock car racing team ‘ market, is a part of the need for an order.
Earlier this month, NASCAR urged the judge to deny the plaintiffs ‘ motion for an order. No driver or sponsor has stated it may cut ties without an injunction, and any damage may be financial and preventable by money. NASCAR maintained 23XI Racing and Front Row fail to explain what certain and irreversible harms they would experience in the absence of an injunction. NASCAR also attributed any harms suffered by 23XI Racing and Front Row to” self-infliction” and blamed them for “manufacturing evidence” in the form of ( possibly ) coordinated emails by drivers.
In Thursday’s brief, which is partially redacted, 23XI Racing and Front Row insist they have demonstrated irreparable harm—a kind of harm that money can’t remedy—because they can only compete as chartered teams if they release their antitrust claims.
The plaintiffs also assert that NASCAR “violated its agreement to approve the transfer of a Stewart-Haas Racing LLC charter to Front Row” and that it has “exacerbated irreparable harm.” According to 23XI Racing and Front Row, NASCAR assured Front Row that the Stewart-Haas Racing transfer had been approved. That would have happened before Front Row filed a lawsuit against NASCAR a few months ago in a complaint calling NASCAR and France “monopolistic bullies.” NASCAR and 23XI Racing claim that the transfer “has done an about face” and that this should support their irreparable harm claim.
Since they refused to sign a deal and sparked a public controversy by suing, 23XI Racing and Front Row seem particularly offended by NASCAR’s claim that the two teams ‘ damages are” self-inflicted” Front Row and 23XI Racing claim to be fighting back against “monopolistic abuses” and proudly sticking to their guns.
In order for 23XI Racing and Front Row to meet a contractual deadline, Jeffrey Kessler, a 23XI Racing and Front Row attorney, requested from Whitney that he make the request by December 18. The ability to purchase from Stewart-Haas Racing depends in part on whether there is a need to release legal claims, according to 23XI Racing and Front Row. Bell may decide by that date, but that is up for debate.
