Bubba Wallace Gets Honest About Michael Jordan's Impact

As Michael Jordan and his 23XI Racing partners prepare for a major lawsuit against NASCAR, people are wondering if His Airness is in over his head in an industry he's a relative newcomer to.

But for his star driver Bubba Wallace, who has been racing since Jordan was still with the Washington Wizards, it's actually an easy question to answer. Per GP Fans, Wallace asserted that Jordan has "a lot" of impact on the day-to-day running of 23XI Racing.

"It's a lot," Wallace said. "I think everybody at Airspeed (the 23XI shop) knows that MJ is invested mentally, obviously we know financially, but being there, being a part of this team, being a part of this sport in the fashion that he is, it brings a lot of joy to the people that show up at work at 7 a.m. each and every day.

"I think that's important to have. And then it carries over to the race track. When we show up, we have all the confidence in the world.

"Zak my car chief he's text me every week, 'we got a bullet for ya', so basically like 'here you go big dog, let her eat, You do you.'"
