At Charlotte Motor Speedway on Friday, 23XI Racing’s Denny Hamlin and driver Bubba Wallace unveiled the No. 23 car that Wallace will drive for the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season.
23XI, launched by NBA legend Michael Jordan and current Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin, signed driver Bubba Wallace in September to drive the team’s only car. Jordan’s car will bear his famous number, which was last used in NASCAR’s top division in 2018.
Fans finally got a first look at the 23XI Toyota’s paint scheme, which features Chicago Bulls red and white, with the number in black. Although the 2019 NASCAR season is quickly drawing to a close, we’re only three and a half months away from seeing Jordan’s car on the track at Daytona for the start of the 2021 year.
First look at Bubba’s new ride. 👀
