NASCAR filed a strongly worded opposition to an expedited briefing request from 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports as part of the teams' re-filing of the motion to a preliminary injunction in their antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR.
in their antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR, NASCAR issued a strongly worded opposition to the request for an expedited briefing from the race teams.
NASCAR claims the teams, and their attorney Jeffrey Kessler held the filing of their new motion until just before the Thanksgiving holiday. "Plantiffs' motion to expedite should be denied," NASCAR attorney Chris Yates stated in the sanctioning body's opposition filing. "Plaintiffs tactically delayed filing their new motion for a preliminary injunction for over a week, intentionally dropping it on NASCAR and the Court on the eve of the Thanksgiving holiday after first posting about it on social media many hours before filing.
With the re-filing of the motion for preliminary injunction coming on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, NASCAR states that giving the sanctioning body and its legal team only 10 calendar days to review and respond to the motion, "...fails to provide for sufficient time to review and investigate, particularly given the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and the fact that Defendants are working to prepare an answer and responsive briefing that are due on December 2.
While the teams had requested a response from NASCAR on the matter by December 6, Judge Frank D. Whitney sided with NASCAR's request of moving the response deadline to December 9. 23XI and Front Row will be allowed to reply to NASCAR's response by noon on December 12. Following the replys, the Court will set a date for oral arguments in the District Court of North Carolina..
