Front Row Motorsports has alleged that NASCAR blocked its purchase of a valuable charter unless it agreed to drop its federal antitrust lawsuit. In court filings, the team claims NASCAR reversed its prior approval of the deal, citing the ongoing lawsuit as the reason. The dispute, which also involves 23XI Racing, underscores growing tensions over NASCAR’s charter system and revenue-sharing agreements. Both teams warn that being forced to compete as “open” entries in 2025 will cause significant financial harm.
