Michael Jordan was unhappy with botched pit stop

Michael Jordan is still as competitive as ever judging by his reaction to a botched pit stop during Sunday’s NASCAR race.

Jordan co-owns 23XI Racing with driver Denny Hamlin, the team fell victim to an error-filled pit stop during Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400 in Richmond. 

23XI driver Bubba Wallace’s right front tire got loose during a change, and a member of the team tried to grab it before it got away. The team member failed to do so and fell over the protective wall while not wearing a helmet, which constituted a safety violation.

Jordan was not particularly pleased with this turn of events.

Jordan launched 23XI Racing in 2020 and already has a driver win under his belt. Clearly, he is still a huge competitor, and unforced errors like this are not going to sit well with him.
