Lawyer for the two teams says NASCAR's countersuit is 'a meritless distraction and a desperate attempt to shift attention.'
NASCAR has initiated legal action against Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, alleging that these teams have violated NASCAR's rules by collaborating with a third-party company to manipulate air pressure in their race car tires. This lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, claims that the teams used an external device to adjust tire pressure, which is against NASCAR's regulations. The suit seeks to prevent further use of such devices and requests damages for the breach of contract. NASCAR's action underscores its commitment to maintaining a level playing field and ensuring that all teams adhere strictly to the rules, thereby preserving the integrity of the sport.
