Michael Jordan’s NASCAR Team Faces More Criticism As Playoffs Approach

Despite skepticism surrounding the 23XI Racing driver for his performance and place in the Cup Series, Bubba Wallace has silenced the critics, securing a place in the playoffs for the first time.

The pit crew of the #23 car has seen a consistent source of setbacks for the 29-year-old speedster. This issue isn’t exclusive to Bubba Wallace either, as Tyler Reddick has faced similar challenges. The team has a reputation for making costly mistakes on pit road, ranging from miscalculated pit strategies to mishandling tire changes.

Three prominent NASCAR insiders gave their predictions for 23XI, and let’s just say things didn’t look good for them. Steve Letarte, The Professor, and Chopper came together to analyze the odds of playoff drivers winning at Darlington. Professor felt like the pit crew loopholes might have Reddick fall again. However, Chopper felt that just based on track finishes, Reddick would easily dominate.

Bubba Wallace's Controversy

Not only did Bubba Wallace finish P7, but also got embroiled in a controversy. Back in May this year, the Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte witnessed Bubba Wallace receiving a Stage 2 penalty for equipment interference. Despite reaching the P10 after lap 207 in Stage 3, the McDonald’s sponsored driver dropped to P4. Wallace pulled no punches as he bashed his team and radioed, “All we’re doing is just killing ourselves. We’ll never get a chance to see Victory Lane if we keep f*cking up.”
