UPDATE: As expected, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports has formally asked the full Court of Appeals to consider their recent loss in the injection that is allowing them to operate as chartered teams while suing NASCAR.
As expected, 23XI/Front Row have asked for appeals panel to reconsider or all of the judges of US Court of Appeals 4th Circuit to hear injunction appeal. This will delay them losing the charters until seven days after the decision not to hear it again or a rehearing/decision. pic.twitter.com/ICrR9sjPis

ORIGINAL POST 6-17-2025: The attorney for 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports said Tuesday that he will seek a rehearing before the full Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals for both organizations to keep their chartered status.
Jeffrey Kessler, lead attorney for 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports in its antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR, made the comments after a hearing on another matter Tuesday in federal court.
The teams and Curtis Polk, co-owner of 23XI Racing, sought a dismissal of counterclaims NASCAR made against them. The judge made no decision on the counterclaims Tuesday after a nearly two-hour hearing that Denny Hamlin, co-owner of 23XI Racing, Bob Jenkins, owner of Front Row Motorsports, and Polk attended. Michael Jordan, co-owner of 23XI Racing, was not in attendance.

The teams have until Thursday to request a rehearing. Kessler confirmed Tuesday that the teams would meet that deadline.
“Unfortunately, I don’t think the three judges, if you read their opinion, actually dealt with the hard issues and that’s what the circuit will need to do,” Kessler said in response to a question from NBC Sports.
