The third installment of NASCAR’s street race in Chicago is back this weekend as the sport takes over Grant Park for another year. And while there is now future commitment to the race coming back, fans will hopefully be treated to a spectacle in the Windy City.
As we inch closer and closer to the event, which runs Saturday through Sunday night, more and more paint schemes are being released. That includes from Team 23XI Racing, co-owned by Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan.
23XI Racing’s new paint schemes for NASCAR Chicago Race
The team has been known to feature some awesome paint schemes, including some Jordan Brand-inspired ones. But this year, they are releasing four new ones for the event and they are all pretty darn good.
The first one that stands out is the Tyler Reddick 45 car which features a unique design that pays homage to the Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi OG “Shattered Backboard.” The car is dressed in a black and orange scheme with a shattered design on it, really showcasing the details on it from 23XI Racing.
The second scheme that is very noticeable is the 23 car driven by Bubba Wallace. He will go with a McDonald’s theme that includes fries on the back end of the car. The crisp, yellow, white and red color scheme features the McDonalds logo on the side.
Check out all of the schemes below:

As you can see, the details are showcased in that post with the four drivers of the 23XI Racing team featuring Chicago landmarks or places. The 45 car is in front of the United Center while the 57 is in front of the iconic Chicago Theater, the 35 in front of the bean and the 23 in front of the old Rock N Roll McDonald’s.
Now let’s see if 23XI Racing can get into the winner’s circle.
The NASCAR Chicago Street Race is home to the first-ever NASCAR Cup Series street race in the history of the sport.
