Spire Motorsports and co-owner Jeff Dickerson have responded to Joe Gibbs Racing’s legal filing about expedited fact discovery, countering that JGR’s focus on hypothetical scenarios has drifted away from the core issue of trade secrets. The lawsuit revolves around allegations that Gabehart conspired to share proprietary data with Spire, leading to a legal battle that now includes both parties. Joe Gibbs Racing sought quick discovery to address potential damages in the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season, with the court granting some but not all of their requests. Both Gabehart and Spire have challenged the need for additional expedited discovery, citing preservation efforts and calling for equitable subpoenas on third parties involved. The legal filings and declarations from all sides highlight the complex nature of the lawsuit and the ongoing dispute over alleged trade secret violations.
