We have the newest dispute in the NASCAR lawsuit as 23XI Racing<\/a> and Front Row seek to open the scope with two witnesses. Rick Hendrick and Roger Penske are on the witness list for the sanctioning body in its upcoming defense at trial. But that might be complicated now. <\/p>\n

Last week, Rick Hendrick and Roger Penske asked the court to prevent them from being cross-examined and deposed by the Plaintiffs, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports. NASCAR wants the testimony to be limited to the declarations that both team owners wrote<\/a> a few weeks ago. <\/p>\n

Clearly, the teams want the scope to be more than that. This is an antitrust lawsuit about the alleged anticompetitive business practices of NASCAR. Hendrick and Penske are two of the most storied teams in the sport. They work closely with NASCAR. Could they also have some preferred relationship over other teams within the sport? Perhaps that\u2019s what 23XI and FRM want to find out<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cPlaintiffs should not be able to derail the testimony of Messrs. Hendrick and Penske based on eleventh-hour demands for new information,\u201d NASCAR argued in a filing today. \u201cPlaintiffs have repeatedly touted both in this litigation and publicly that the declarations of Messrs. Penske and Hendrick supported Plaintiffs\u2019 case. \u2026 So, Plaintiffs have no basis to complain about the admission of that testimony at trial. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Plaintiffs never moved the Court to require Team Penske, Hendrick Motorsports, or any other team to produce the detailed financial information that Plaintiffs apparently seek to extract from these witnesses in deposition and at trial.\u201d <\/p>\n
