Jordan’s involvement in NASCAR began in 2020 when he partnered with driver Denny Hamlin to form 23XI Racing, aiming to promote diversity and bring a fresh perspective to the sport. Under their leadership, the team secured notable achievements, including race victories and increased representation. However, the recent legal challenges have created uncertainty about the team’s future.

The departure of such a high-profile figure raises questions about the future of 23XI Racing and its involvement in the ongoing legal disputes. It remains to be seen how this development will impact the team’s operations and their stance in the lawsuit against NASCAR.

 

NASCAR officials have yet to comment on Jordan’s departure. The motorsports community will undoubtedly feel the impact of his exit, given his influence and the attention he brought to the sport.

 

As the situation unfolds, stakeholders and fans alike will be keenly observing how 23XI Racing navigates this transition and what it means for the broader NASCAR landscape.
