In a stunning development in the world of motorsports, 23XI Racing, the NASCAR team co-owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan and NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin, has been placed up for sale following a series of financial difficulties and the team’s recent bankruptcy filing. The team, known for its competitive presence in the NASCAR Cup Series, is now facing significant financial strain that has left ownership with no choice but to explore a sale.
Sources close to the team suggest that 23XI Racing, which has fielded top-tier drivers like Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick, has struggled to maintain financial stability in recent seasons. Despite strong on-track performances, including a notable win at Talladega Superspeedway in 2021 and consistent playoff appearances, the team has been burdened by rising operational costs. These include team expenses, car development, and the substantial overhead associated with securing sponsorship deals, all of which have become harder to manage as revenue streams have fluctuated.
In addition, the team’s investments in new technology, driver contracts, and facilities have not yielded the expected returns, creating cash flow issues that ultimately led to the bankruptcy filing. As part of the financial restructuring, 23XI Racing has now been placed on the market, with potential buyers including major corporate sponsors, investment groups, and other racing organizations looking to enter the NASCAR scene.
The sale is expected to generate significant interest, as 23XI Racing holds a valuable brand with a high level of media exposure, largely due to Jordan’s celebrity and the team’s role in diversifying NASCAR’s fan base. The future of the team will depend on securing new ownership that can stabilize its finances and continue its push for competitive success.
