23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports have asked for the dismissal of their appeal regarding the preliminary injunction ruling on an anticompetitive clause in NASCAR agreements. The appeal was filed after the request for a preliminary injunction was rejected by Judge Frank D. Whitney. Last week, NASCAR removed the clause from the open agreement, leading the teams to commit to racing next season. The latest request seeks voluntary dismissal of the appeal and each side covering its own costs. While the door remains open for the teams to refile the injunction in District Court, they must demonstrate a likelihood of irreparable harm. Claims of potential harm, such as losing drivers and sponsors, were deemed insufficient by Judge Whitney.
