NASCAR has filed a motion to amend its counterclaim against 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports based on information found during discovery.
In its motion, NASCAR says that after the deadline for filing its counterclaim, the teams “produced more than 200,000 pages of emails, texts, and memoranda. Those documents indisputably confirm what NASCAR alleged in its counterclaim: 23XI, Front Row, and Curtis Polk knowingly entered into illegal agreements with other teams on issues such as fixing the compensation that they received from NASCAR and allocating how that compensation would be divided among the co-conspirator teams.” It was carried out, as NASCAR alleges from the paper trail, by using Jonathan Marshall of the Race Team Alliance (RTA) as a conduit.
NASCAR wants to amend its counterclaim to include the documents. The counterclaim was filed on March 5 and alleges conspiracy and Sherman Act violations.
