TC Daily Pit Stop: Wednesday, December 10, 2025
Childress Says Teams Had No Choice in 2025 Charter Deal; NASCAR Uses Improper Document in Cross-Exam
When ranking people you likely don’t want to make mad in the NASCAR world, Richard Childress has to be near the top of the list. The former driver turned legendary NASCAR Cup Series team owner has had a knack for speaking his mind and for using his fists if needed over the years.
Tuesday, Childress was among the witnesses who took the stand for their testimony in the ongoing antitrust trial that has pitted race teams 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports against NASCAR.
Childress delivered an impactful testimony, which ultimately furthered the case for the plaintiffs, but it was part of his cross-examination that ended up being the talk of the town.
While seeking to impeach Childress, who said that team ownership in the NASCAR Cup Series wasn’t profitable, NASCAR attorney Christopher Yates began to recite from a document that had not been made available in discovery. Additionally, Childress claimed the document is protected under a non-disclosure agreement.
