Joe Gibbs Racing is asking the Western District of North Carolina to hold Chris Gabehart and Spire Motorsports in civil contempt because it claims both defendants have violated the temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction placed against them in March.
Specifically, JGR is asking that the defendants appear in court to explain why they should not be held in contempt. This is all part of the ongoing lawsuit and countersuit between the three parties that stemmed from Gabehart leaving JGR at the end of last season, where he was accused of breaching contract and also taking proprietary information with him to benefit Spire.
