11th Circuit Sides With NASCAR in Logo Dispute With AT&T

2007-08-14

A ruling by the 11th Circuit cleared the way for NASCAR to prevent AT&T from featuring its logo on Jeff Burton's No. 31 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. The court said Monday in its order that AT&T lacks standing to challenge NASCAR's decision, and threw out a lower court's ruling that prevented NASCAR from stopping AT&T's plans. At issue is AT&T's desire to change the Cingular logo on Burton's car, which was grandfathered into a NASCAR and Sprint Nextel exclusivity agreement, to the AT&T logo.
