MJ’s NASCAR Team in Crisis: Employee Arrested After Golf Cart Horror
Published May 29, 2026 at 8:51 pm
A 23XI Racing employee just became the last person you’d want working for Michael Jordan’s NASCAR team. Evanna Howell, 23, was arrested Saturday after allegedly running over a 77-year-old man with a golf cart at a North Carolina race track. Yeah, you read that right.
The incident went down at the track, and things escalated fast. An elderly victim ended up on the wrong end of Howell’s golf cart—and it wasn’t pretty. Police showed up, arrested her on the spot, and now MJ’s team is dealing with a full-blown PR nightmare just when they don’t need it.
23XI Racing hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing lately, but this is a whole new level of drama. An employee arrested for allegedly hitting a senior citizen? That’s the kind of headline that makes team executives lose sleep. The organization will almost certainly distance themselves from this mess, but the damage is already done.
No word yet on charges or how the elderly man is doing, but you know this story’s going to haunt the team for a while. Michael Jordan built his legacy on winning—not on his employees making international headlines for all the wrong reasons.
