23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports (FRM) have filed a legal response to NASCAR regarding their antitrust lawsuit, arguing that an injunction is necessary for them to compete as open teams. The teams contend that the open team agreement requires them to waive their right to pursue such lawsuits, and that failing to secure the injunction could jeopardize their antitrust claims. In a recent court ruling, their request for expedited discovery to obtain documents from NASCAR prior to the preliminary injunction hearing set for Monday was denied. The judge deemed the request overly broad and noted that the teams indicated they could still prevail on the injunction without the documents. This legal battle is part of a broader argument against NASCAR's practices, with 23XI Racing's legal team, including Michael Jordan, challenging the use of case law related to joint venture sports leagues.
