A federal judge issues discovery rulings in the lawsuit involving Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), Spire Motorsports and former competition director Chris Gabehart. The order directs the parties to produce documentation and information related to their racing setups for the 2025 and 2026 seasons, following a hearing focused on unresolved discovery disputes.
The case, filed by JGR earlier this year, centers on allegations that Gabehart provided Spire with proprietary or confidential competitive information connected to JGR. Outlets describe the most recent rulings as another step in narrowing disputes over what must be disclosed during litigation, with additional orders tied to JGR’s allegations involving Gabehart. Reporting varies on emphasis—some focus on the setup-production requirement, while others highlight a separate order related to finalizing JGR’s claims—but all describe the decision as a significant discovery development.
