Rick Hendrick & Roger Penske Publicly Trying to Back Out of NASCAR Lawsuit Drama Tensions rise as two of NASCAR’s biggest team owners make unexpected moves, trying to escape the entire charter lawsuit

Courtroom drama gives 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports fresh momentum. In a hearing that briefly turned the spotlight from the racetrack to the courthouse, U.S. District Judge Keneth D. Bell granted a partial summary judgment that sharply undercut NASCAR’s bid to point to IndyCar or Formula 1 as substitutes, a legal pivot that stunned observers and forced NASCAR to recalibrate its defense.

The legal pressure on NASCAR intensified dramatically following the market definition ruling, prompting the plaintiffs to seek testimony from the sport’s most powerful team owners, Rick Hendrick and Roger Penske. Although NASCAR has not objected to this decision, they themselves do not want to get entangled too much in this legal storm, trying to back out of the ongoing lawsuit in its final moments
