Marcus Jordan, the son of the legendary Michael Jordan, shared a few pictures of his father during their visit to the 23XI Racing headquarters. The Jordans, along with Marcus' sister Jasmine, were at Huntersville, North Carolina, where the headquarters known as Airspeed is located.
In a post on his official Instagram account, Marcus shared images of their trip back in late May at Airspeed. He showed off the entrance to the headquarters, as well as snips of his father with some of the guests that day. Some of the awards won by 23XI Racing were also put on display.
Several amenities inside the HQ were also seen like the gym area. Finally, it was also a way for Marcus to promote some of his father's brands such as Air Jordan and Cincoro. He even captioned the post:
"Daddy was a Rolling Stone, I get it from my Father," Marcus wrote.

Michael Jordan and his 23XI co-founder Denny Hamlin opened Airspeed last month on a 16-acre land with nine acres of space already in use. They are even planning to expand the building and open it to the public soon. It's a huge project for the NASCAR team that has six race victories to its name.
All five trophies from each victory are on display at the headquarters. Bubba Wallace won the first-ever trophy at the 2021 YellaWood 500 at Talladega. It was followed by another win for Wallace at the 2022 Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas.
Kurt Busch was responsible for the 2022 AdventHealth 400 win in Kansas City, while Tyler Reddick is credited for three victories. They are the 2023 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, the 2023 Hollywood Casino 400 in Kansas City and the 2024 GEICO 500 at Talladega.
Michael Jordan compares Tyler Reddick's win at Talladega to the NBA playoffs
Michael Jordan knows a thing or two about winning during pressurized situations. Jordan won six NBA championships during his career with the Chicago Bulls, cementing himself as one of the greatest players to ever do it.
Now, Jordan has been a regular at NASCAR to support his 23XI Racing team, which consists of drivers Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick. And when Reddick won the 2024 GEICO 500 at Talladega back in April, "His Airness" couldn't help but compare the feeling to the NBA playoffs.
"This, to me, is like an NBA playoff game. I am so ecstatic, obviously for the fans who support the sport itself. And we've been working hard, trying to get ourselves up to compete against all the top guys in this sport. But we've done a heck of a job just to be where we are. And for us to win a big race like this, I mean, it means so much to me and for the effort that the team has done," Jordan said. [H/T NASCAR.com]
