\u201cThere are numerous teams in the garage who have looked at this situation and said, \u2018We would love to have Tyler Reddick in our race car.\u2019 Do I think anything will happen in the middle of the season? I do not. For a lot of reasons, I don\u2019t think you would expect to see anything midseason. There\u2019s too many hoops to hop through, it gets messy and complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n

This clause came into focus when the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals denied 23XI\u2019s appeal to keep its charters through the season.<\/p>\n On Monday, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports filed for a restraining order and preliminary injunction, arguing their charters should be protected because NASCAR \u201csignaled its intentions to immediately move to sell\u201d the charters to other teams.<\/p>\n Also Read: NASCAR Predictions for Dover, including Tyler Reddick<\/a><\/p>\n If the injunction is denied and 23XI Racing loses its charters, after refusing to sign NASCAR\u2019s new charter agreement this winter, the team would operate as an open entry. Reddick and Bubba Wallace are expected to remain with the team through the end of the season, but that commitment could change in the offseason.<\/p>\n \u201cThat said, if this prolongs into the offseason and 23XI doesn\u2019t have its charters and theoretically Reddick is a free agent if you will. Yeah, I would be surprised if there is not a team who says, \u201cWe\u2019re going to go all in and we\u2019re going to get him.\u2019\u2026This is a business at the end of the day and when you have a driver to get, like Tyler Reddick, you gotta do what you gotta do.\u201d<\/p>\n The Athletic\u2019s Jordan Bianchi on a NASCAR team pursuing Tyler Reddick this offseason<\/p>\n The antitrust lawsuit brought by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports against NASCAR is set for trial in December and challenges the legality of the charter system, which teams argue gives NASCAR monopoly-like control over the sport. The teams claim they risk having their charters sold immediately and face financial risks if forced to operate as open teams, including the possibility of losing top drivers like Reddick to chartered teams in the Cup Series. In addition, there could be no charters left in December if there is a ruling in the two teams\u2019 favor against NASCAR.<\/p>\n
