Overshadowing all the controversies and debates that have rocked the NASCAR world, recently the Cup Series team, 23Xl Racing co-owned by the NBA great Michael Jordan, caught the NASCAR community by surprise as they teased a former driver’s presence back on the track!

Welcoming the young NFL quarterback, Bryce Young to the Jumpman family, Jordan’s team put out an interesting post on their social media that has caught the attention of fans.

The team put out a rather interesting tweet, and it was the eagle-eyed fans who saw Kurt Busch‘s name on the post!

Michael Jordan’s 23Xl Racing teases a comeback. Could it really be true?

Amid the excitement for the upcoming Wurth 400 at Dover International Speedway, Denny Hamlin and MJ’s Cup Series team stole the spotlight as they probably teased the comeback of its former driver and the ‘bad boy’ Kyle Busch‘s brother, Kurt Busch.

Ever since the unfortunate accident at Pocono Raceway back in 2022, the NASCAR fraternity has been much awaiting the return of the elder Busch to the track. The brutal crash left the 2004 Cup Series champ with concussions, shortening the illustrious career of the driver.

But now, with his name in the backdrop of 23Xl Racing’s recent post, fans are thrilled. So much so that soon after the post made it to the internet, fans went into a frenzy, speculating about the return of the former #45 driver.

As the news spread, fans went on about scrounging for further updates while they got into numerous discussions.

Fans went bonkers over Kurt Busch as they discussed his return!

The Pocono wreck had a major influence on the driver’s racing career, causing him to retire early. But seeing Kurt Busch’s name on the car excited his fans, as they discussed his possible comeback. Startled by the news, they said on Reddit:

“Hold up… KURT BUSCH?”

Another fan poured out his genuine emotions, “Please don’t be misleading hype. That will seriously mess with peoples emotions, guilty as we may be of reading into things”

“Oh please!!! Please be Kurt coming back to the drivers seat!”

“God if you love me please let this be real”

While another fan reminisced about the good old days, saying “When I first got into NASCAR, Kurt was one of my main guys I rooted for. If I could see him race at least one more time it’d be amazing”

“What happened last year made me so sad but I try to think of the good times. I was fortunate enough to be at Atlanta in 2021 & Bristol in 2018 when he won. Two of the best days of my life as a NASCAR fan.”

“Don’t be an error, Don’t be an error, Please don’t be an error.”
