Michael Jordan knows winning.

Lately, he’s taken that pursuit to the NASCAR Cup Series, where he’s the principal owner of 23XI Racing.

Jordan is joined in the ownership group by current driver Denny Hamlin, but Hamlin actually competes on the track for Joe Gibbs Racing.

That leaves Jordan with a stable of up-and-coming drivers for the 23XI team.

Who drives for Michael Jordan with 23XI Racing?

Jordan has three full-time drivers in 2026:

No. 23 Bubba WallaceNo. 45 Tyler ReddickNo. 35 Riley Herbst

23XI Racing also has Corey Heim, who drives the No. 67 car, on board in a part-time role.

Reddick won the first two races of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season. First, he won the Daytona 500, and then it was the Autotrader 400 in Atlanta.

Wallace has run near the front in each of the first two races of the season, as well.

The NBA legend Jordan has gotten plenty of camera time in the early going as his drivers have been in or near the front of the field late in races. 

Jordan grew up going to races with his dad, so this is a passion project a long time coming for MJ, and his race team is developing into a very strong one.
