Jordan's Nascar Team Surges to Front

After years of frustration as an NBA owner, basketball icon Michael Jordan is finding success with his Nascar team 23XI Racing, which has surged to the front of the Cup series and is reshaping his legacy as a sports executive.

Jordan's executive journey has been marked by challenges since his transition from player to owner. He faced mixed results with the Washington Wizards as a minority partner starting in 1999, and later as majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats/Hornets, where the team made just three playoff appearances in 13 years without a series victory. Now, his Nascar venture is providing a new chapter of success for the six-time NBA champion.
