Gibbs Racing Widens Trade Secret Battle, Targeting Trackhouse’s Marks and Ware
Joe Gibbs Racing’s legal battle with former competition director Chris Gabehart has expanded to include Trackhouse Racing’s Justin Marks and Rick Ware Racing’s Rick Ware, as JGR alleges broader sharing of trade secrets. A judge has cautioned against a broad “fishing expedition” for evidence, but JGR maintains its belief that the situation extends beyond Spire Motorsports.
The case centers on allegations that Gabehart improperly took and used sensitive internal data, with JGR seeking significant financial restitution and a competitive penalty.
