In a joint statement, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports announced they have filed a preliminary injunction to continue racing in 2025 as chartered organizations while the case moves forward.
“The 23XI and Front Row Motorsports teams are fully committed to competing in next year’s Cup Series,” 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports said in a joint statement. “Today’s procedural filing is the next step in advancing our case against NASCAR and their monopolistic practices, while protecting our drivers, race teams, and sponsors by establishing our legal right to run in 2025.”

The two teams are also asking the court to grant them immediate access to several documents related to the 2025 charter agreement and the process around it. NASCAR has not commented on the lawsuit to this point. 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports hope to continue racing despite its lawsuit against NASCAR, as the former looks to win the Cup Series title in 2024.
