Michael Jordan must be on cloud nine at the moment. For the last few weeks, the Chicago Bulls icon’s focus has completely been on his NASCAR team, which was under huge trouble. MJ recently hit the headlines for a massive financial achievement. However, what the fans didn’t know was the financial threat that Jordan was facing on the other side. Co-owner of MJ’s 23XI racing Denny Hamlin spoke about the risk involved in the business ahead of the race to playoffs. Anyhow, 23XI need not worry anymore as their 29-year-old came up clutch at the right time.
