As a rival team accuses Spire Motorsports of
putting the Spy into NASCAR!
Oh yeah, in my riveting, elongated St Pete
weekend recap. As typical, I ran outta room to scribble about the current
lawsuit in NASCAR.
As Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) has added Spire
Motorsports to its lawsuit against former JGR employee Chris Gabehart.
JGR alleges that Gabehart, its former
Competition Director has illegally taken proprietary information with Him to
His new employer Spire Motorsports, where He’s been named their Chief
Motorsports Officer. Presumably tabbed with improving Spire’s ontrack
performance.
Over the St Pete weekend, Gabehart made His
first official appearance as an Spire employee, albeit supposedly just chillin’
in their suite.
As the Judge presiding in the case, ruled in
JGR’s restraint lawsuit that Gabehart could work for Spire, as long as He
didn’t perform any of His previous JGR duties. And that Gabehart needed to
return any and all “illegal” matrrials in His possession to JGR. With the Judge
imploring both parties to come to a settlement before March 15th.
