A federal judge has ruled against NASCAR's motions to dismiss an antitrust lawsuit brought against the stock car series. U.S. District Judge Kenneth Bell of the Western District of North Carolina also rejected NASCAR's request for two teams, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, to post a bond to cover potential fees in case they lose the case.

The lawsuit, filed by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, aims to challenge NASCAR's charter system and compete with charter recognition through the 2025 season. NASCAR's franchise system, implemented in 2016, provides 36 cars with charters guaranteeing them a spot in every race along with financial incentives, leaving four open spots in the field each week.
