Michael Jordan, Denny Hamlin Form NASCAR Team With Bubba Wallace Behind The Wheel
"The timing seemed perfect as NASCAR is evolving and embracing social change more and more," says Michael Jordan, the basketball icon and majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets NBA franchise said.
NBA legend Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player ever and known for his elite competitiveness, is taking another big challenge: trying to make NASCAR more inclusive.
The hoops icon announced on Monday that he and and NASCAR superstar Denny Hamlin have teamed up to form a new racing team. They've recruited Bubba Wallace to be its driver.
Wallace, the only Black driver at NASCAR's top level, became known hanging from a garage assigned to the driver at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.
