Joe Gibbs Racing Drags Spire Motorsports into $8M Chris Gabehart Lawsuit, Escalating NASCAR Legal Battle
Joe Gibbs Racing has intensified its $8 million lawsuit against former competition director Chris Gabehart, now naming Spire Motorsports as a defendant and seeking a temporary restraining order.
JGR alleges Gabehart violated his non-compete agreement and stole confidential car setup and financial data, transferring it to a personal account before joining Spire. The team claims Spire knowingly participated in the breach, putting millions of dollars and competitive advantage on the line in this high-stakes NASCAR legal battle.
