Bubba Wallace’s NASCAR Cup Series car is owned by the 23XI Racing team, which is co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin.

Quick Scoop: Who owns Bubba Wallace’s car?

In the NASCAR Cup Series, drivers do not personally own their primary race cars; the team does.

For Bubba Wallace, that team is 23XI Racing (pronounced “Twenty-Three Eleven Racing”), a Toyota organization formed in 2020 with NBA legend Michael Jordan and NASCAR star Denny Hamlin as co-owners.

So, who officially “owns” his car?

If you’re asking “who owns Bubba Wallace’s car” in the current NASCAR Cup Series context, the practical answer is:

  • The car is owned by 23XI Racing.
  • 23XI Racing itself is co-owned by:
    • Michael Jordan (majority figurehead and co-owner).
* Denny Hamlin (active NASCAR driver for Joe Gibbs Racing and team co-owner).

Sponsors like Xfinity, McDonald’s, DoorDash, and others pay to have their branding on the car and help fund the operation, but they do not own the car; they sponsor it.

Simple comparison

Here’s a quick way to view it:

Aspect| Bubba Wallace No. 23 Cup Car| Evidence
---|---|---
Team that owns the car| 23XI Racing| 17
Team co-owner (NBA legend)| Michael Jordan| 1
Team co-owner (NASCAR star)| Denny Hamlin| 1
Manufacturer| Toyota (Camry XSE)| 75

In short: the “owner” of Bubba Wallace’s car is 23XI Racing, the Jordan–Hamlin team, not Bubba himself or a sponsor.
