JGR vs Gabehart Trial Set for 2027 | F1 News

Joe Gibbs Racing is taking on former crew chief Chris Gabehart and Spire Motorsports in court, accusing them of stealing proprietary race data when Gabehart jumped ship in February. The nine-day trial kicks off February 1, 2027, with JGR claiming Gabehart passed intel to Spire — though Gabehart denies it and countersued. Judge Rodriguez sided with JGR, ruling Gabehart took data, but he insists he returned everything and never shared it with Spire. Discovery deadlines loom by mid-2026, setting the stage for a high-stakes courtroom showdown that could reshape NASCAR’s legal landscape.
