The NASCAR world, Bubba Wallace — the highest-finishing African-American driver in Daytona 500 history — is reportedly calling on NBA legend and 23XI Racing co-owner Michael Jordan to issue a public apology following serious allegations that have surfaced involving Wallace and the team.
Sources close to the situation reveal that Wallace feels unfairly targeted by claims linked to his role and performance at 23XI Racing. These allegations, which remain unclear in their specifics, have evidently caused enough concern for Wallace to consider taking legal action. The 30-year-old driver is now demanding that Jordan, as a leader of the organization, publicly retract the statements and issue an apology. If this does not occur, Wallace may pursue a defamation and libel lawsuit not only through the courts but potentially with NASCAR’s governing body as well.
Tensions have reportedly been building behind the scenes at 23XI Racing, the team founded by Jordan and fellow driver Denny Hamlin. Wallace, who has been a central figure on the team since its inception, has contributed to multiple milestone moments and has served as a trailblazer for diversity in the sport.
Fans and analysts alike are closely watching this situation unfold, as any legal move by Wallace could send shockwaves through NASCAR. While it’s unclear how Jordan will respond, it’s evident that Wallace is prepared to stand his ground to defend his name, integrity, and position within the sport.
