Michael Jordan’s $150 Million Worth NASCAR Investment Under Public Scrutiny After 23rd July Incident

After a controversial ending to the highly anticipated Pocono Raceway, all eyes are on the race winner, Denny Hamlin, as he claimed his 50th career win following his controversial finish to edge out Hendrick Motorsports ace, Kyle Larson.

While the veteran is in a state of denial following the community’s outcry, fans have brutally slammed the 42-year-old, even bringing his business partner, Michael Jordan, who was busy enjoying his vacation in France, into the picture.

While the scene was almost perfect for Toyota, capturing the top 3 positions, including 23XI Racing ‘s road racing sensation Tyler Reddick’s spectacular 2nd position finish, fans did not sit by as they denounced Hamlin’s win. Furious over the veteran’s cheap move, frenzied fans went to the extent of calling out the NBA great, expressing their dissatisfaction vividly.

Michael Jordan’s business partner and 23XI Racing co-owner, Denny Hamlin, was booed unapologetically as fans displayed their displeasure. The former Chicago Bulls guard has been an ardent NASCAR fan since he was a boy, often accompanying his father to the tracks. And consequently, Jordan couldn’t resist the offer of owning a NASCAR team when he invested $150 million in 23XI Racing, partnering with veteran Denny Hamlin, in early 2020.

While the veteran Hamlin cleaned his hands, putting the blame on the #5 Chevy, the driver’s 50th win or his team’s 600th win did not faze the community as they rag-dolled him online, calling out his hypocrisy.
