Michael Jordan was among a host of celebrities pictured at the Daytona 500, with the six-time NBA Champion on hand to support of his other sports organization, 23XI Racing.

Jordan co-owns the racing organization with Joe Gibbs racing driver, Denny Hamlin, a minority partner. 

He was joined in Daytona Beach by comedians Pete Davidson and Tiffany Haddish, former NFL star Brandon Marshall, WWE women's champion Charlotte Flair and actress Chase Sui. 

Jordan launched a new NASCAR team with Bubba Wallace, the only full-time black driver on the circuit, back in 2020.

'Historically, NASCAR has struggled with diversity and there have been few black owners,' Jordan said in a statement at the time.
