23XI and FRM denied rehearing in major blow, could lose charters by next week
The lawsuit between 23XI Racing, Front Row Motorsports, and NASCAR is set for December 1st, but another legal battle between the parties has been raging in the meantime. Here’s how we all got to this point: Prior to the start of the 2025 season, the teams were granted a preliminary injunction to keep their charters […]

The lawsuit between 23XI Racing, Front Row Motorsports, and NASCAR is set for December 1st, but another legal battle between the parties has been raging in the meantime. Here’s how we all got to this point:
Prior to the start of the 2025 season, the teams were granted a preliminary injunction to keep their charters while the lawsuit was ongoing in order to avoid irreparable harm. However, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, recently overturned that decision.

On May 9th, Judge Paul Victor Niemeyer, Judge Steven Agee, and Judge Stephanie Thacker heard arguments from both NASCAR’s lead attorney, Chris Yates, as well as the team’s lead attorney, Jeffrey Kessler.
On June 5th, this trio of judges decided to revoke the injunction, claiming the teams cannot agree to parts of the 2025 Charter Agreement and benefit from it while suing NASCAR for the parts they disagree with. The courts told Kessler, “you can’t have your cake and eat it too” before making the decision.
Request denied
Michael McDowell, Front Row Motorsports Ford; Tyler Reddick, 23XI Racing Toyota

The teams pushed back, attempting to appeal the decision by requesting a rehearing with the entire Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. As of Wednesday, July 9th, that request has been denied.

It’s unclear what other options (if any) the teams have at this point, which means they are likely going to lose their charters within seven days. If that happens, then 23XI and FRM will each bring three cars to Dover Motor Speedway as open entries.
Along with having to qualify on time, the teams will suffer significant financial losses and certain contracts will be voided. No one knows what will become of the six charters they currently hold, including two that they purchased from Stewart-Haas Racing (with help from the courts) last year.
23XI fielded a fourth, part-time entry as an open car at Chicago last weekend with Corey Heim, and he ultimately missed the race. While DNQs are uncommon in modern NASCAR as entry lists rarely exceed the 40-car maximum, it’s still an uncomfortable position to be in.
23XI’s full-time entries include the No. 23 of Bubba Wallace, the No. 35 of Riley Herbst, and the No. 45 of Tyler Reddick. FRM fields the No. 4 of Noah Gragson, the No. 34 of Todd Gilliland, and the No. 38 of Zane Smith.

Toyota’s New GR Rally Machine Roars Like Hell But Emits Almost Nothing
The hydrogen-powered concept is based on the GR Yaris Rally2 racer and will be tested in Finland Toyota revealed the GR Yaris Rally2 H2 Concept during Rally Finland’s opening events.

The hydrogen-powered concept is based on the GR Yaris Rally2 racer and will be tested in Finland

- Toyota revealed the GR Yaris Rally2 H2 Concept during Rally Finland’s opening events.
- The concept shares its chassis and wide bodykit with the gas-powered GR Yaris Rally2.
- Liquid hydrogen fuel delivers near-zero emissions, while retaining traditional ICE sounds.
Exploring cleaner alternatives to traditional engines, Toyota continues to develop a range of powertrain solutions that include more than just hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery-electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cells. One of its more unconventional efforts involves a modified combustion engine that runs on liquid hydrogen, which has now found its way into a full-fledged rally car.
The GR Yaris H2 Concept has been built to meet WRC’s Rally2 class regulations. It features the same wide bodykit and prominent aerodynamic components as the gas-powered Rally2 variant, along with a similar chassis setup.

While it looks more restrained than the top-tier Rally1 car in the WRC, the design still carries a strong motorsport presence. Visually, the hydrogen-powered concept is marked out by a unique livery and vented rear panels in place of traditional side windows.
Hydrogen Power, Rally Style
The development of the hydrogen-powered rally car took place at Toyota’s TGR-WRT headquarters in Jyväskylä, Finland, with testing conducted on both gravel and tarmac. The company hasn’t disclosed full technical details, though it’s likely powered by a modified version of the existing turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine.
Using liquid hydrogen as fuel results in “near-zero emissions” from the tailpipe. At the same time, the engine retains “the sounds and sensations” of an ICE-powered vehicle, which are very popular among rally enthusiasts. For these reasons, Toyota believes that hydrogen has the potential to become “one of the options for the future of motorsport in a carbon neutral society”.

Toyota
The GR Yaris Rally2 H2 Concept is set to make its dynamic debut at Rally Finland, tackling the Harju stage on Thursday and Friday. Behind the wheel will be the four-time World Rally Champion Juha Kankkunen, who currently serves as Deputy Team Principal at TGR-WRT.
After its run on mixed surfaces, the car will be displayed in the service park alongside two other hydrogen-powered Toyota models: the production-ready Mirai (FCEV) and a hydrogen-fueled Tundra prototype.
Toyota And Hydrogen Engines
Toyota is one of the pioneers when it comes to hydrogen tech, although research was initially limited to the more traditional fuel cell powertrains (FCEV), currently found in the production-spec Mirai and Crown Sedan. Still, its engineers have also used liquid hydrogen as fuel for combustion engines, testing their limits in various motorsport activities.
More: This Experimental Toyota GR Yaris’ 3-Cylinder Engine Runs On Hydrogen
The first Toyota with a hydrogen combustion engine was a modified GR Corolla that has been competing in the Super Taikyu series in Japan since 2021. A similar turbocharged 1.6-liter engine was fitted to the experimental GR Yaris H2 Concept in late 2021 and in the Corolla Cross Hydrogen Concept in late 2022.
Furthermore, Toyota has built prototypes of the Tundra pickup and the HiAce van with hydrogen-fueled V6 engines for testing on public roads. Finally, the GR LH2 Racing Concept combines a hydrogen engine with a hybrid setup, borrowing its chassis from the GR010 Le Mans Hypercar.
