Michael Jordan May Take a Step Back as Toyota Negotiations Stall
NASCAR
Michael Jordan's NASCAR team, 23XI Racing, co-owned with veteran driver Denny Hamlin, is facing a potential setback as negotiations with Toyota remain stagnant.
Uncertainty for 23XI Racing
As the regular season of the Cup Series draws to a close, teams are reconsidering their positions and future partnerships. Among them is 23XI Racing, co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin. The contract between the team and manufacturer Toyota is on the brink of expiration in the 2023 season.
Hamlin's Position
Hamlin, who has been associated with Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) since the beginning of his Cup Series career, is yet to sign a contract extending his stay with the team. Despite intent from Coach Gibbs and TRD President David Wilson to retain him, it has yet to materialize.
Speculations suggest that 23XI Racing may shift its allegiance from Toyota to Ford Performance for the next season and beyond. This seems plausible given the positions of Stewart-Haas Racing drivers, with Kevin Harvick retiring after the ongoing season and Aric Almirola potentially following suit.
