23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsport decided to oppose NASCAR's emergency motion after the governing body filed a petition against Judge Kenneth Bell's recent verdict. As the two aforementioned teams opposed NASCAR's motion, Bob Pockrass revealed two key arguments.

Pockrass of Fox Sports took to his official X account to share the update about the ongoing charter dispute between NASCAR and 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsport. As per the latest update, Judge Bell is set to deliver a significant verdict on the ongoing tussle between the two parties.

As the case went under the judge, 23XI and FRM delivered two key arguments against NASCAR. Highlighting it, Pockrass shared from the micro-blogging site X:

"Two key arguments from 23XI/FRM filing opposing NASCAR emergency motion that would delay transfer of SHR charters:
-NASCAR denial of SHR transfers was based on the teams' unwillingness to drop lawsuit
-SHR no longer has assets or infrastructure to support two extra Cup teams."

After the judge ruled in favor of 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsport last week in their injunction, NASCAR immediately struck back with an appeal. It filed a petition to put a stay order on the verdict.

Highlighting it, Bob Pockrass shared an update from his official X account. Here's what he wrote:

"23XI/FRM opening line of brief opposing NASCAR's emergency motion that would delay transfer of SHR charters: "When a litigant does not have either the law or the facts on its side, it will pound the table. But Defendants’ pounding has become tired, familiar, and shrill."

After Judge Kenneth Bell's verdict, NASCAR needed to acknowledge the entry of 23XI and Front Row Motorsports' entry to the sport even though they did not sign the charter agreement in September this year.

However, it did not guarantee the transfer of Stewart-Haas Racing charter to the aforementioned teams for the 2025 season. The two disputed parties and the federal court once again went under hearing for the charter case on Monday.
