  • "No reason given but according to the court docket, the 23XI/Front Row case vs NASCAR has been reassigned to judge Kenneth D. Bell. Judge Frank D. Whitney, who issued the initial preliminary injunction ruling, is no longer assigned to the case" Bob Pockrass posted to X.

A new judge, U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni, has been assigned to oversee the ongoing lawsuit between NASCAR and the 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports teams. This legal battle stems from a controversial decision during the NASCAR Cup Series race at the Circuit of the Americas in March 2023, where a late caution flag led to a restart that significantly altered the race's outcome. The teams allege that NASCAR officials manipulated the race results by allowing drivers who did not pit to restart ahead of those who did, which they claim was against NASCAR's own rules. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and has drawn attention due to its implications for NASCAR's rule enforcement and the integrity of its racing events. Judge Caproni, known for her involvement in high-profile cases, will now handle this contentious dispute.
