NASCAR legal battles impact team finances and driver sentiments
A judge denied a preliminary injunction request by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to retain charter status for the rest of the NASCAR season, allowing them to continue as open teams with less funding but without risking missing races, as NASCAR's recent rule change guarantees their participation. The teams argued they would suffer irreparable harm without charters, but the court found that NASCAR's adjustments and the potential for future relief mitigate this harm. The case will proceed to trial in December.
