The ongoing legal battle between NASCAR and teams 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports is only getting messier as the December 1 jury trial for the NASCAR lawsuit looms closer. Both sides are gearing up for what could be one of the most consequential court cases in the sport’s modern era. NASCAR has now requested a judicial settlement conference with the U.S. District Court, admitting that prior mediation efforts have been “exhausted.”

The court responded by setting a new conference for October 21 in a last-ditch effort to find common ground. But according to recent filings, the two teams aren’t convinced a compromise is possible. This has set up a fierce legal showdown that could reshape the power structure and financial future of NASCAR team ownership.
