NASCAR's Money Fight: Teams and Fans Tired of the Legal Drama
USASun Oct 12 2025
The NASCAR lawsuit is finally nearing its end after a long year of arguments. It all started when teams disagreed with NASCAR's rules and payments. Now, two teams, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, are fighting for a better deal.
This week, a judge scheduled a meeting to help both sides agree. But the teams are not happy with the money NASCAR is offering. They say the increase is not as big as NASCAR claims. In fact, it might not even keep up with inflation.
NASCAR recently paid these two teams a lot of money for the upcoming season. If the court rules against them, NASCAR plans to give that money to the other teams. This would mean each team gets an extra $1. 5 million.
The teams argue that the money is not enough. They say the increase is not as big as NASCAR says. But NASCAR claims the payments have gone up by 62% in the new agreement.
A year ago, most teams chose to sign the new agreement. But 23XI Racing and FRM decided to fight in court instead. Now, other teams are speaking up, saying the lawsuit is bad for NASCAR.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. , a famous NASCAR driver, thinks the lawsuit is hurting the sport. He wants both sides to settle soon. He says the fight has turned ugly and made many people unhappy.
Everyone is tired of the legal battle. Fans and teams alike hope for a quick resolution. The question is, will both sides find a way to agree?
