EDITOR’S NOTE: Below are the latest filings in the federal antitrust lawsuit involving 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports versus NASCAR and James (Jim) France. Going forward, Kickin’ the Tires will work to be a repository for all relevant and available documents filed in the case so that our readers can keep up with the proceedings. Keep in mind that many documents will be filed by both parties “under seal” or with redactions. This is a common practice in legal cases involving complex corporate contracts and/or trade secrets.
One of the documents filed under seal on October 9, 2024, states: Sealed Document (Sealed – Attorney): Memorandum in Support re: 20 MOTION for Preliminary Injunction (available to 2311 Racing LLC, James France, Front Row Motorsports, Inc., National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, LLC) (Attachments: # 1 Declaration of Daniel A.
