NASCAR has "filed a motion to dismiss the antitrust lawsuit filed against them by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports." NASCAR in the filing called the plaintiffs’ complaint a “misguided attempt to dress up private business frustrations in antitrust garb.” NASCAR added 23XI and Front Row "fail to plead any reduction in competition, meaning they do not have the required antitrust injury to establish antitrust standing" and "aim to renegotiate contractual terms rather than address genuine anticompetitive behavior." 23XI and Front Row asked for "preliminary injunction that would allow them to compete as chartered teams in 2025 while still proceeding with the lawsuit." The teams "initially withdrew their appeal of the first request denied in court before issuing another request last week with 'new evidence,' claiming that irreplaceable harm was imminent" (ON3, 12/2).
