ESPN made a big blunder when they posted news that said that Kyle Busch joined the 23XI Racing team.
The team owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin in fact signed his brother Kurt as they expanded to a tw0-car team from the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season.
ESPN did their take on the news but they made a fatal mistake in their push notification, announcing Kyle as the driver of the 23XI Racing team instead of his brother Kurt.
Kyle was quick to react to the news and congratulated himself on the false report of joining the new team.
Congratulations to me 🥳 pic.twitter.com/va6JcOTpku

He was not the only one reacting to the news and his team Joe Gibbs Racing did a hilarious take on the news by posting a GIF that suggested that they were happy Kyle was gone from the team.
Are they glad I’m gone? 😢 pic.twitter.com/3LwDvLpxqq

23XI Racing announces it will expand to two Cup cars next season with Kurt Busch in the No. 45
Busch was not done with the mistake and even shooted a fake press conference about him joining 23XI Racing.
