Teams, NASCAR respond to Rick Hendrick and Roger Penske’s motion to not be deposed

Attorneys for NASCAR and 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports have filed their responses with the court regarding the motion by Rick Hendrick and Roger Penske to not be deposed in the upcoming lawsuit.

Both sides ask the court to deny the motion of Hendrick and Penske.

NASCAR says they support the “request to put ‘guardrails on their testimony’ at trial ‘limiting such testimony to the high-level subject matter of their Declarations.’ ”

The teams’ state, “The Court should deny the extraordinary motion of Rick Hendrick and Roger Penske-who own two of the most storied NASCAR Cup Series teams—that seeks to block Plaintiffs from effectively deposing or cross-examining them so that they can voluntarily provide the sanitized trial testimony that they admit NASCAR CEO Jim France has asked them to provide. Depriving Plaintiffs of the right to depose and cross-examine Mr. Hendrick and Mr. Penske on indisputably relevant subjects would subvert the purposes of the Federal Rules and Plaintiffs’ fundamental right to a fair trial.”
