CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday rejected a request from 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to continue racing with charters while they battle NASCAR in court, meaning their six cars will race as open entries this weekend at Dover, next week at Indianapolis and perhaps longer than that in a move the teams say would put them at risk of going out of business.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Bell denied the teams’ bid for a temporary restraining order, saying they will make races over the next couple of weeks and they won’t lose their drivers or sponsors before his decision on a preliminary injunction.

Bell left open the possibility of reconsidering his decision if things change over the next two weeks.

After this weekend, the cars affected may need to qualify on speed if 41 entries are listed — a possibility now that starting spots have opened.

“We are disappointed that the court declined to grant 23XI and Front Row Motorsports a temporary restraining order to allow the teams to continue racing as chartered teams,” the teams’ attorney Jeffrey Kessler said in a statement. “We remain confident that our motion for a preliminary injunction is legally warranted and necessary, and we look forward to the court’s full review.”

23XI, which is co-owned by retired NBA great Michael Jordan, and FRM filed their federal suit against NASCAR last year after they were the only two organizations out of 15 to reject NASCAR’s extension offer on charters.

“We made the decision to bring this lawsuit to challenge NASCAR’s monopolistic practices and bullying tactics, and we are not going to let them push our teams – or others – out of the sport that they love,” Kessler’s statement said. “We are confident in the merits of our case and the teams remain focused on competing this weekend and continuing their playoff push.”

The case has a Dec. 1 trial date, but the two teams are fighting to be recognized as chartered for the current season, which has 16 races left. A charter guarantees one of the 40 spots in the field each week, but also a base amount of money paid out each week.

Jordan and FRM owner Bob Jenkins won an injunction to recognize 23XI and FRM as chartered for the season, but the ruling was overturned on appeal earlier this month, sending the case back to Bell.

Three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin co-owns 23XI with Jordan and said they were prepared to send Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace and Riley Herbst to the track each week as open teams. They sought the restraining order Monday, claiming that through discovery they learned NASCAR planned to immediately begin the process of selling the six charters which would put “plaintiffs in irreparable jeopardy of never getting their charters back and going out of business.”

“This is a fair and significant fear; however, NASCAR has agreed that it ‘will not sell any charters before the court can rule on plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction,’” Ball wrote. “Similarly, plaintiffs worry that denying them guaranteed entry into the field for upcoming races could adversely impact their competitive standing, including their ability to earn a spot in the playoffs. Again, a legitimate, potentially irreparable harm. Yet, akin to the sale of charters, NASCAR represents to the court that all of plaintiffs’ cars will qualify (if they choose to race) for the races in Dover and Indianapolis that will take place during the next 14 days.”

Making the field won’t be an issue this weekend at Dover as fewer than the maximum 40 cars are entered. But should 41 cars show up anywhere this season, someone slow will be sent home and that means lost revenue and a lost chance to win points in the standings.

Reddick was last year’s regular-season champion and raced for the Cup Series championship in the season finale. But none of the six drivers affected by the court ruling are locked into this year’s playoffs.

23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports will compete as Open teams this weekend at Dover Motor Speedway and next weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway after being denied a temporary restraining order to keep NASCAR from revoking their charters. 

The teams, which field a combine six entries, are not guaranteed spots in the NASCAR Cup Series race. However, they are not in danger of missing this weekend’s event as there are not more than 40 teams on the entry list. Both organizations had raced as charter entries since the season began after being granted a preliminary injunction in December.

United States District Judge Kenneth Bell ruled that 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports “failed to established irreparable harm to support entry of a TRO.” But the issue of the preliminary injunction (a new request filed by the teams to be recognized as charter teams through the end of the year) was not ruled on Thursday, and NASCAR told the court the charters will not be sold before the ruling is made. 

“We are disappointed that the court declined to grant 23XI and Front Row Motorsports a temporary restraining order to allow the teams to continue racing as chartered teams,” said Jeffrey Kessler, the lead counsel for 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports. “We remain confident that our motion for a preliminary injunction is legally warranted and necessary, and we look forward to the court’s full review.

“The court made it clear it is only denying the temporary restraining order because NASCAR has agreed to preserve our charters until the preliminary injunction can be decided and because we are assured of qualifying all our cars the next two weeks so that there will be no irreparable harm before the preliminary injunction can be fully briefed and ruled upon.

“We made the decision to bring this lawsuit to challenge NASCAR’s monopolistic practices and bullying tactics, and we are not going to let them push our teams — or others — out of the sport that they love. We are confident in the merits of our case and the teams remain focused on competing this weekend and continuing their playoff push.”

The courts have ruled against 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports in their request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) as they seek a new preliminary injunction. The hope was that they would secure a TRO in order to prevent NASCAR from revoking their charters, but that has failed. They will compete as open entries at Dover Motor Speedway this weekend. 

23XI fields the No. 23 of Bubba Wallace, No. 35 of Riley Herbst, and the No. 45 of Tyler Reddick. FRM has the the No. 4 of Noah Gragson, the No. 34 of Todd Gilliland, and the No. 38 of Zane Smith.

Of note, the judge said they would reconsider the court’s denial of the TRO if the teams were actually in danger of missing the race, but only 37 cars have entered with NASCAR allowing up to 40 before sending cars home. Should 23XI and FRM end up in danger of missing a race due to field size, that could qualify as irreparable harm and a TRO may actually be granted.

Originally, 23XI and FRM were granted an injunction in December of last year, which allowed them to compete under the 2025 Charter Agreement while suing NASCAR over that very same agreement. They specifically targeted a release clause (the ability of either party to file a lawsuit) while claiming NASCAR operated as an unlawful monopoly and violated antitrust laws. 

Both FRM and 23XI went out and purchased a charter from the now-defunct Stewart-Haas Racing, expanding into three-car teams for the new year. However, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals revoked that injunction on June 5th. The teams attempted to get a rehearing, but were denied. 

What happens next?

They then filed a request for a TRO and a new preliminary injunction in order to hold onto the charters, citing new evidence and stating NASCAR intended to immediately sell the charters. The injunction was not part of Thursday’s ruling, and NASCAR has assured the courts that the charters will not be sold before that ruling.

Financially, this is a massive blow as they will miss out on a lot of the weekly purse money. Certain contracts with partners and even drivers may also be voided with no charter present, and should more than 40 cars show up for any given race weekend, they would be forced to qualify on time with no guaranteed starting spot.

This does not directly impact the championship in any way, as open teams are welcomed to compete for the title and operate under the same rules as the chartered teams. However, there are no open teams (until now) choosing to contest the full-season because it is financially unfeasible for most.

NOTES

Moose at Dover: This weekend at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway, Ross Chastain will pilot the red-and-black Moose Fraternity Chevrolet. Moose Fraternity has been a longtime supporter of Chastain’s and Trackhouse Racing. Most notably in racing, Moose Fraternity is known for Chastain’s Hail Melon move at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway in October 2022 when he rode the wall to advance his track position and make it to the Championship 4 at Phoenix. Chastain drove the Moose Fraternity livery in February at Atlanta Motor Speedway to an eighth-place finish. Moose Fraternity will appear on the No. 1 Chevrolet two more times this season: Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway in August and Martinsville (Va.) Speedway in October.
Chastain at Dover: Chastain makes his 11th Cup Series start this weekend at Dover, which is also the sight of his first-ever Cup start in 2017. Chastain made two Cup starts that season, both at the Monster Mile. His best finish at the one-mile concrete oval came in May 2023 when he placed second.
Double Duty for Chastain: The Florida native will drive the No. 9 Acceptance Insurance Chevy for JR Motorsports in Saturday’s Xfinity Series race, his fourth start in the series this season. He has finishes of eighth, fourth and fifth. His last Xfinity start at Dover was in 2020 when he captured a second-place finish. Chastain will drive the No. 9 Acceptance Insurance Chevy for the final time this season at Iowa Speedway on August 2.
Meet Chastain: On Thursday, Chastain will sign autographs 5-7 p.m. ET at the Delaware State Fair, 18500 South Dupont Hwy, Harrington, Del., 19952 at the Delaware Office of Highway Safety Booth.

On Sunday at 10:20 a.m. local time, he will sign autographs at the Trackhouse Racing merchandise hauler located in the Fan Zone – wristband required and distribution begins on Friday.
Last Weekend at Sonoma: Chastain started fourth and won the first stage, leading four laps. He looked poised for a good finish late in the race, but a multiple-car accident on a restart with 12 laps to go hindered the No. 1 Chevrolet, dropping him to 26th.
Crew Chief: Chastain and crew chief Phil Surgen have worked together since 2021. The duo is the third longest active driver and crew chief pairing.
Most Wins for No. 1 Car in Cup Series: The No. 1 car has been to victory lane six times with Chastain since 2022, the most wins by a driver with that number. Jamie McMurray previously held the record with four victories in the No. 1 car.

Chastain Quotes:

Do you enjoy racing at Dover?

“Dover is where I made my first Cup career start back in 2017, and actually, I made my only two Cup starts that year at Dover. Its an awesome track and so much fun to drive. The G-Forces you feel there, driving under the walkover bridge, walking around the horse track, it’s just so unique. I’m driving in both series this weekend which gives me double opportunity to get into victory lane.”

How much fun is it to drive the Moose Chevrolet?

“It’ll be fun to be back in the Moose Fraternity car this weekend. We’ve had some awesome moments in the Moose paint schemes over the years with the win at Talladega and then the ‘Hail Melon’ at Martinsville. The Moose Fraternity has been supporting me for a long time, since back in the Chip Ganassi Racing days, which I’m super thankful for. They do so much for the communities they’re in and I’ve been able to meet so many members across the country over the years. I would like nothing more than to get them into victory lane.”

First Cup Series Start at the Monster Mile: Shane van Gisbergen will make his first NASCAR Cup Series start at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway this Sunday. Van Gisbergen started 31st and finished 18th last year in the Xfinity Series.
Dominance in Sonoma: Van Gisbergen started on the pole, led six times for a record-setting 97 of the 110 laps and survived three late cautions in the final 15 laps to win his third consecutive road course race. He earned his fourth Cup victory in just 34 career races and picked up his second stage win of the season after capturing Stage 2, recording one playoff point.
Three Wins on the Season: Van Gisbergen’s Sonoma win last weekend ties him with Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell with three Cup Series victories in the 2025 season.
Adding to the History Books: Van Gisbergen became the fastest driver to four wins in the Cup Series since Parnelli Jones in 1967 and the first since Jeff Gordon to win three consecutive road course Cup races from the pole. Van Gisbergen is tied with Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson for the most Cup Series wins as a rookie (3). The Auckland, New Zealand native is the only driver not from the United States to win at least four NASCAR Cup Series races.
Road Course Stats: Van Gisbergen has quickly become a top NASCAR driver on a road course. He has four victories, four pole positions, five top-fives, and eight top-10s while leading 267 laps.
Playoff Bound: After last weekend’s win in Sonoma, Van Gisbergen now sits third in the 2025 Cup Series Playoff Standings with 17 playoff points. Mexico City victory locked him into the playoffs, his first-ever appearance in NASCAR’s post-season. He also clinched a playoff spot in his full-time season in the 2024 Xfinity Series.
Two-Time Inaugural Race Winner: Van Gisbergen has etched himself into the NASCAR history books by winning two inaugural NASCAR Cup Series races. The New Zealand native captured the win in the first-ever Mexico City race in June, and in 2023, Van Gisbergen won his debut Cup Series race with Trackhouse’s PROJECT91 at the Chicago Street Race.

Rookie Year: Van Gisbergen is a Sunoco Rookie of the Year Contender during the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. Van Gisbergen leads Riley Herbst in the rookie standings (367-238) entering Dover.
Red Bull Back in Victory Lane: Van Gisbergen piloted the No. 88 Red Bull Chevrolet to victory lane last weekend in Sonoma. This marks Red Bull’s first win in the Cup Series since 2011 (Kasey Kahne at Phoenix Raceway).

Van Gisbergen Quotes:

What was the last weekends win like from the driver’s seat?

“It wasn’t easy (laughs). Our car wasn’t very good in practice, we really struggled. Qualifying was amazing. That was one of the best cars I’ve had in qualifying. What the team did overnight with the work and tuning it for the race, it was so much better. It’s hard to have an incident free NASCAR race, so just being able to execute and stay out of trouble was huge. It’s just been an amazing last couple of weeks. Just to be able to celebrate these wins with everyone at Trackhouse is so special. I have to thank my 88 guys; it was a tough start to the year. But we built up all year, got better and better, and now we need to keep getting better on the ovals and start proving some people wrong. I’m pretty stoked at the moment.”

How do you put into words what the last two years have meant to you?

“It means everything. That’s why I race cars. I had an amazing time in Australia, and then to come here and the last couple weeks or years actually has been a dream come true. I’ve really enjoyed my time in NASCAR. Thanks, everyone, for making me feel so welcome. I hope I’m here for a long time to come.”

Chase Briscoe called you the Michael Jordan of road course racing. How do you feel when you hear something like that?

“(Laughs) It’s amazing that people and all my peers think that about me. I really enjoyed racing him (Briscoe) and I always do. It’s been a really cool run that we’ve been on. Being able to win on speed and executing perfectly, it’s really cool. The battles I’ve had with everyone have been great. It’s just really cool that they think of me like that.”

How are you feeling ahead of Dover this weekend?

“I’m looking forward to getting back into some oval racing. It’s been a nice break doing all these road courses, but Dover should be good. I struggled a bit there last year, but I still had fun. It’s an epic track! Just how fast you can go into that corner, it feels like you are dropping and then all of the sudden you are loading up into the banking, just how much grip the track has is mind blowing. My team has a bunch of momentum heading into this weekend, so I’d like to keep that progression going and keep starting to build towards the top half of the field on the ovals.”

Daniel in Boxer Briefs Paint Scheme in Dover

Jockey’s paint scheme on the No. 99 Chevrolet this weekend in Dover will once again create the illusion of transparency, depicting Daniel Suárez directly inside the vehicle in nothing but his Jockey® Infinite Cool boxer briefs. This playful paint scheme, similar to the livery he raced in Michigan, aims to capture the attention of race fans in the stands and on television while highlighting the superior cooling benefits of Jockey® Infinite Cool underwear.

Featuring a cooling mesh pouch with new Jockey Heatwick technology, Jockey Infinite Cool underwear absorbs and transfers heat away from the body to stop sweat before it starts – perfect innovation for inside a race car or taking in the race from the stands on a hot July day.

“I’m getting used to driving a paint scheme featuring me in my underwear,” said Suárez. “We ran it last year and a few weeks ago at Michigan. It’s gotten a great reaction from the fans, so why not bring it back? I’ll wear just my underwear every week if we win in Dover!”

Trackhouse teammate Ross Chastain has driven similar paint schemes. Jockey International, Inc. (Jockey) joined Trackhouse Racing as a team sponsor in 2022. Since then, the nearly 150-year-old, family-owned apparel brand has adorned No. 1 and No. 99 Chevrolets.

NOTES

Last Week in Sonoma: Daniel Suárez overcame a midrace spin that sent him toward the back of the field before rallying in the closing laps to score at 14th-place finish.
Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway: 2025 marks 56 consecutive years that Dover Motor Speedway has hosted a NASCAR Cup Series event. The Monster Mile is one of only 10 tracks in the country to host 100 or more NASCAR Cup Series races.
Dover Cup Record: Suárez owns one top-five, five top-10 finishes, and has led 22 laps in 12 starts on the one-mile concrete track.
2016 Xfinity Victory: Suárez fondly remembers the October 2016 Xfinity race on the mile oval at Dover. “We had a ton of speed that day,’’ said Suárez, who led 123 of the 200 laps. “That was one of those races that you would feel bad to lose.’’ Suárez jumped out of his car and sprinted down the front stretch to grab the checkered flag and take an untraditional victory lap on the track. “I had to run a little bit. That’s fine,” he said. “When you win, you can run a little bit.”
Dover 2024: Suárez finished 18th in last year’s race, struggling early until cautions on laps 322 and 330 enabled the No. 99 to make up two lost laps. He returned to the lead lap in 18th place with 60 laps remaining and held that position until the checkered flag.
Cup Career Highlights: Suárez owns two victories (Sonoma 2022 and Atlanta 2024) and three Busch Light Pole Awards – Pocono (Pa.) Raceway July 2018, Kentucky Speedway July 2019, and on the road course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway August 2023.
Personal Life: Suárez married Julia Piquet, daughter of three-time Formula One World Champion Nelson Piquet, at a ceremony on July 30 in Brazil. The couple took a delayed honeymoon trip to Japan in the offseason. He is also now a dual citizen of Mexico and the United States. He took the American Oath of Allegiance at a naturalization ceremony on June 18 in front of media, friends, the NASCAR industry and NASCAR Commissioner Steve Phelps who gave the keynote address to the 48 new citizens from 28 countries who joined Suárez at the ceremony. The 33-year-old, Monterrey, Mexico native came to America about 13 years ago without speaking English.
Mexico Success: Suárez returned to his native country in June as NASCAR held its inaugural race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. A week of fan and media activity included a 19th-place finish in the Cup race. But few will forget his drive from last place to first in the No. 9 Quaker State Chevrolet for JR Motorsports in the Xfinity Series race and the celebration in front of the raucous fans. It marked the first time in any NASCAR series that a driver has done that on a road course. His victory, coupled with Van Gisbergen’s, is the first time since 2009 when international drivers swept a race weekend.
Trackhouse Racing and Suárez Agree to Part Ways: Trackhouse Racing and Suárez announced on July 1 their mutual decision to conclude their partnership following the 2025 season. The move allows Suárez to pursue new opportunities in his racing career.

Suárez Quotes:

What do think about racing at Dover?

“Dover is an amazing racetrack and in my opinion one of the best just because it is so tense and fast. It is very unique. There is nothing similar to Dover – except maybe Bristol, a little bit, but it is still quite different. I am excited for this weekend. The feeling you get inside the car there is pretty incredible.”

Why do you like Dover?

“Actually, Dover is one of my favorite tracks that we go to. It’s so much fun and it has also been one of my best tracks, statistically. My expectations are really high for this weekend because I have run so well in the past there.”
