Recently, during an interview with FOX Sports, Hamlin was asked a particular question. He was asked what a bigger moment for Hamlin was: Whether it was his third win at Bristol or having Michael Jordan and singer J. Balvin in his team’s box.

J. Balvin was also at the event and was promoting his latest collaboration with the Jordan brand. It was the newest J Balvin x Air Jordan 3 ?Medellin Sunset?. This is Balvin’s third collaboration with the Jordan Brand.

To the question, Hamlin replied, “I’m a selfish guy. So I’m going to say that winning for myself was bigger.”

Hamlin then goes on to explain how happy he is for the trifecta. He won the race. Both teams are moving on to the next round. He was in the presence of Jordan and J. Balvin. So there could not have been anything better about the day for him.

MJ was doubted by the critics

When Jordan introduced his team to NASCAR, he also told people that he hoped to win soon. Insiders in the scene did not believe that Jordan understood what he was getting into and that it would be long before the team won. But the team started winning in their opening year as well. This made the insider take back his words.

Bubba Wallace, who is a driver for the 23XI racing team, talked about the team’s success. He credits the wins to having an open mind and developing strategies to face the competition. In the current generation, there is no visible difference between the vehicles they use. So the only thing to improve to get yourself an advantage is with the pit crew, the strategies, and the pit chief.
