Michael Jordan is arguably the greatest NBA player of all time. After retiring from the sport, he decided to invest his money in buying some franchises. Earlier, he became the owner of NASCAR 23XI, alongside Denny Hamlin. Recently, Hamlin revealed the reason why Jordan got involved with NASCAR.
NBA Hall of Famer, Michael Jordan bought the NBA team, Charlotte Hornets in 2010. Although he sold a portion of the Hornets in 2019, he still owns the majority of the franchise. In 2021, Jordan bought the 23XI Racing along with Denny Hamlin.
Although Hamlin is the minority shareholder of 23XI Racing, he also drives full-time in NASCAR. Recently, he won the race in Kansas. Notably, Hamlin and Jordan also recruited talented Bubba Wallace in 2021 as their main driver moving forward.
In a recent interview, Hamlin said, “He’s a race fan first. His parents took him to NASCAR races when he was a kid, and that’s how it started. Now he’s our business partner.” Hamlin also praised Jordan as the team’s owner; he said Jordan is very passionate as the owner.
