With a federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia overturning a district judge ruling that forced NASCAR to recognize 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports as de facto chartered teams, the Sanctioning Body has now formally modified its entry requirements for each remaining race this season.

NASCAR has reportedly changed its rule book, likely in response to the latest ruling in the antitrust lawsuit by 23XI and Front Row Motorsports, ensuring the two teams will not miss any races as open teams.

As first reported by JaySki.com, NASCAR released an addition to its rulebook that allows it to limit the number of entries for a Cup Series race to 40 teams. The new rule allows NASCAR to fill open slots based on the team owner’s points standings
