Mack Trucks hitting the road with NASCAR

While they won’t be doing the actual racing, Mack Trucks is getting involved with a NASCAR team. 

Mack Trucks announced Thursday that it has signed a multi-year partnership with 23XI (twenty-three eleven) Racing to be its official truck partner.  

The team is co-owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan and three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin. 

Mack will be providing three Mack Anthem models and one Mack MD Class 6 model to 23XI Racing to support the team throughout the NASCAR Cup Series season.  

The Mack Anthem models will haul Bubba Wallace’s No. 23 Toyota Camry TRD and Tyler Reddick’s No. 45 Toyota Camry TRD between races, in addition to hauling important team equipment. 

 The Mack MD model will be equipped with a flatbed to transport the teams’ vehicles as they are being prepared for competition. 

“We make trucks that move racecars, but the partnership between Mack Trucks and 23XI racing is based on more than just capabilities,” said David Galbraith, vice president of global brand and marketing for Mack Trucks. “We have a similar focus on high performance, excellence in engineering and winning in everything we do. We are intentional when it comes to our partners, and 23XI’s ethos is something we recognize in ourselves.” 

Mack Trucks are manufactured at its Lehigh Valley operations in Macungie. 

 “We look forward to seeing the Mack Anthems and Mack MD with 23XI livery on the road and at NASCAR Cup Series events,” said Galbraith.  

The first Mack Anthem has been delivered to the team and can be seen at NASCAR events around the country.  

The remaining two Mack Anthems and Mack MD are planned to be delivered to 23XI in the second quarter of 2023.
