Overview
- Cabarrus County records say Evanna Daneen Howell was arrested after an incident at Charlotte Motor Speedway that allegedly left a 77-year-old man with a severe laceration on May 23.
- A judge found probable cause that Howell used a golf cart as a deadly weapon to assault the victim, and she was charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
- Howell was released on a $125,000 bond and is due back in Cabarrus County court on June 16 for further proceedings.
- NASCAR listed Howell on its weekly penalty report as indefinitely suspended under its behavioral rule, and 23XI Racing and NASCAR have not offered substantive public comment beyond the suspension notice.
- Howell is a senior account manager at 23XI Racing, the team co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, and the case could shape next steps for league discipline and the team’s public reputation as the legal process unfolds.
