The 2023 Cup Series season was a rollercoaster ride for Bubba Wallace and his team, 23XI Racing. Despite the hurdles, they made it to the playoffs. But was it enough to satisfy the team's legendary owners?
Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, the owners of 23XI Racing, had a clear vision - to win the championship. However, despite making it to the playoffs, the team's performance fell short of their expectations. As Bubba Wallace put it, "I know how I feel, it’s good but not good enough."
The Disappointment of 2023
The 2023 season saw both drivers qualify for the post-season, a significant achievement for the young team. Yet, the lack of a championship win left the owners dissatisfied. Wallace revealed this during the NASCAR award ceremony, stating, "I think that’s a question for Denny and MJ and how do they feel about it."
The Road Ahead
Despite the setbacks, the team remains committed to improving. Wallace emphasized, "we know the work never stops, we just got to continue to go out and do it." The journey to the championship continues, and 23XI Racing is ready to rise to the challenge.
