A judge on Friday granted the plaintiffs' request to withdraw their lawsuit against state Comptroller Susan Combs over a $25 million subsidy for a Formula One race planned at a racetrack southeast of Austin next year.

The lawsuit, filed in state District Court in Travis County by three Austin-area residents June 22, asserted, among other things, that the comptroller had promised the taxpayer money to local race organizer Tavo Hellmund before she was legally authorized to do so.

Bill Aleshire, the lawyer who filed the suit, said Friday that he lacked evidence at this time to move forward. Visiting retired District Judge Gus Strauss signed the motion. The lawsuit can be refiled up until Combs writes a check to F1 organizers.
