23XI teases major Indy announcement for 2025

23XI’s announcements usually don’t disappoint. The team co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin wouldn’t tease a big revelation without having something worthwhile in store. Now, it’s a matter of waiting with anticipation to find out.

Last season, the team had a tremendous showing during the Brickyard 400 in Indy. Tyler Reddick finished second, and Bubba Wallace came home fifth. It was an impressive weekend, and now they’ll add to the allure in some fashion, it seems.

At the moment, 23XI is still looking for its first win of 2025. They’re hoping it comes before Indy in July, as the team seems to be on the rise. Regardless, there’s faith in them to figure things out, and history tells us there’s a good chance they can.

More on 23XI Racing, NASCAR

Meanwhile, an insider shared some interesting news concerning the NASCAR vs. 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports (FRM) case. On Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour, Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports detailed how the other NASCAR teams could get involved when the case goes to trial later this year.

“The district court judge, the judge who would preside over the trial, has based both 23XI, Front Row and NASCAR to explain to him why the parties shouldn’t be parties in this case,” Pockrass said. “All the decisions in this could heavily impact the race teams. Now, the Race Team Alliance has put in the court filings that the teams do not want to be part of this. They don’t feel they should be part of it, partly because the charter agreement requires that if there’s a dispute, they go to arbitration and not be in the legal system.

“The other big thing is that NASCAR is subpoenaing the teams for some financial information so that they can have that info at trial, and the teams certainly don’t want to open up their finances to NASCAR. And I would think that if NASCAR goes to court to compel the teams to give them that information, that could push them a little more over to the 23XI and the Front Row side.”

As you can tell, there’s a lot on 23XI’s plate at the moment. Perhaps it’s been bleeding into their performance. Winning cures everything, though. They need a trip to Victory Lane sooner rather than later.
