There were actually two motions to dismiss filed on Monday, one by NASCAR itself and another by CEO Jim France, who is also named as a defendant in the case brought forth by 23XI and Front Row. France also motioned to dismiss his personal end of the suit for the same reason his family owned sanctioning body did.

The article from Sportsnaut discusses the ongoing legal and business maneuvers within NASCAR, focusing on Stewart-Haas Racing's (SHR) charter transfers to 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports. Stewart-Haas Racing, which is shutting down at the end of the 2024 season, has agreed to transfer its charters to these teams. However, this has led to legal action from Legacy Motor Club, who argue that these transfers violate NASCAR's charter agreement rules, specifically the requirement for a charter to be owned by an entity with a history of racing in NASCAR. Legacy Motor Club has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit and an injunction against NASCAR, asserting that the charters should not be transferred to teams without a racing history. The situation has caused a stir in the NASCAR community, with implications for team ownership, competition, and the future structure of the sport.
