North Carolina Tar Heels: Jumpman NASCAR set to make debut

North Carolina Tar Heels Athletics will have a part in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend with a Jumpman-inspired race car.

If you are unaware, former UNC basketball player Michael Jordan is the majority owner of the NASCAR race team 23XI Racing with current NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin as the minority owner.

The Toyota race team consists of three cars, No. 23, No. 45, and No. 67. The current drivers of those cars are Bubba Wallace, Tyler Reddick, and Travis Pastrana, respectively.

The NASCAR race on Memorial Day weekend is historically held in Charlotte, North Carolina at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the annual Coca-Cola 600 and the 23XI Racing team is debuting a new paint scheme for one of its cars this weekend inspired by the GOAT himself that all North Carolina Tar Heels fans are going to enjoy seeing on the track.
