NASCAR has filed a counterclaim against 23XI Racing, Front Row Motorsports, and co-owner Curtis Polk, alleging violations of the Sherman Act and conspiracy. The claim accuses the defendants of engaging in a conspiracy to restrain interstate trade and commerce, violating Section 1 of the Sherman Act. NASCAR contends that Polk orchestrated this illegal behavior while representing the RTA and aiding 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports. The counterclaim states that 23XI and Front Row attempted to pressure NASCAR through media, threatening boycotts and engaging in a group boycott of a team owner council meeting. Polk’s central role in negotiating favorable terms for the teams is highlighted, as NASCAR seeks a jury trial and judgment against the defendants for violating the Sherman Act. NASCAR’s lead attorney, Chris Yates, is leading the case against 23XI Racing, Front Row Motorsports, and Curtis Polk.
