Jordan/Hamlin NASCAR Team Reveals 23XI Racing Name

Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin's NASCAR team today revealed its name: "23XI Racing -- pronounced twenty-three eleven -- in honor of both" Jordan's retired Bulls number and Hamlin's car number. Also unveiled today via social media: driver Bubba Wallace's car will bear the No. 23 when it "makes its debut next season." The team "has not named a manufacturer for its debut at the 2021 Daytona 500, but because Hamlin drives a Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, the No. 23 will almost certainly be a Camry aligned with JGR" (AP, 10/22).
