Motorsports Law

image description

Hoover Hull LLP enjoys a diverse motorsports law practice, having assisted teams, owners, drivers, agents and sanctioning bodies in commercial disputes and transactions. We have negotiated and documented driver services agreements and sponsorship agreements relating to numerous racing series, including:

  • NASCAR Sprint Cup Series;
  • IZOD IndyCar Series;
  • Firestone Indy Lights Series; and
  • American LeMans Series.

We also represent motorsports clients in disputes involving driver services agreements, engine lease agreements, operating agreements, promoter agreements and other commercial agreements used in the motorsports industry. We are also able to assist minors achieve partial emancipation for the limited purpose of participating in auto or motorcycle racing in Indiana.

Our depth of legal experience and ability allows us to handle complex issues for high-profile clients, such as the former Champ Car World Series and several race car drivers, including multiple IndyCar Series Champions and winners of the Indianapolis 500® Mile Race. Though motorsports law has comprised the bulk of our sports law experience, our experience with licensing, intellectual property, indemnification and other aspects of commercial relationships in the sporting world has prepared us to handle issues involving sports other than auto racing and, indeed, other forms of entertainment as well.

Hoover Hull LLP is proud to be a member of the Indiana Motorsports Association and the Sports Lawyers Association, and its attorneys attend The Racing Attorney Conference (TRAC) held annually in Charlotte, North Carolina or Indianapolis, Indiana.
