Michael Jordan - you know the NBA hall of fame billionaire! Just bought his own Nascar team for over $150 million! Wait t'ill you see you he partnered with!
For nearly two decades, NBA Hall of Famer and lifelong motorsport fan, Michael Jordan had wrestled with the idea of investing in stock car racing. Many had tried before him, all with varying degrees of success - some even failed miserably. But all Michael needed was the right crew in his corner; and the right motivation.
Finally, the pieces have fallen into place, and Michael finds himself in a position not only to change the sport for the better, but to drastically improve the broader American outlook.
Up until this point, Michael Jordan had it all: trophies, successful businesses, over a billion dollars in his pocket - now, as of September 2020, he’s even got his very own NASCAR team.

Face reveal
Ya prolly
Did he just say, "enter nascars next ICON Bubba Wallace???? I had to back it up several times. Thanks for the laugh!!!
If a white person said what he said. The media and the world would automatically name them racist.
can't believe this guy said icon bubba wallace what's he smoking
what A fool to hire bubba wallace. Because of bubba wallace Nascar racing has gone down hil. He didn't like a flag that's been around for years even on the popular general lee car it's been on there for decades but because of him the owner of the general lee is taken it off and putting a american flag on it
@@dancurrier6421 What’s bad about that
@@dancurrier6421 you mad bro?
He about to start selling rims and tires now, Spare-Jordans
Lol
I bet you they'd be selling like hot pocket
Now that there's funny!!! I don't care who ya' are!!! LOL
🤔 shit thats a great idea for him
Ain't white folks selling rims and tires already huh
"enter nascars next ICON Bubba Wallace" Bro what are you smoking
The real question is - what are YOU smoking? He's talented.
@@noviranger239He may be talented, but definitely not an Icon.
Welcome to nascar MJ!
Richest: Some even fail miserably Richest: shows Jimmie crashing Me :pain
Did you say Bubba's Great Record. Don't you think you should do some research on the topic of your Videos?
Show me bubba's great record, I'd like to see that.
He’s at RPM a terrible team do you even know how NASCAR works?
@@samuelmcneill1120 I think he was referring to his record before rpm.. the dude sucks but dont worry, he will prove that again an again and again..
@@guitarman864 before rpm he had 6 truck wins
@@jaysive9879 yeah he did and I give him credit for that, but thos trucks are nothing like the Xfinity or cup cars.. they are go karts compared to the cup series... he is not a great driver, he is lower to middle of the road and that's it.. you will see
Now they gonna drop some nascar j's
😄😃😄😃
Facts. I want them to drop a nascar jordan license plate
Denny Hamlin already has Air Jordan racing suit and Air Jordan racing shoes.
@@kelenefta No way, whatttttttt
just a curious question, why do you have so much video of the #17 DJ Kennington from the Canadian Pinty Series included in this? DJ is a great guy but I don't see the correlation
What happened to hiring the most qualified driver not based on race religion creed or nationality. What would happen if rick hendrick bought a basketball team and only signed white guys because he wanted to diversify the nba his career as an American would be ruined. Has anybody thought that maybe nascar isn’t racist and that maybe not that many blacks are into American stock car racing. Liberals need to stop picking on nascar and start messing with NHL or is that too Canadian for y’all. I hope mr Jordan knows that he isn’t going to have much success with Bubba Wallaceand if the only drivers he hires are other non whites he won’t be in the sport long. Hire the best drivers you can and if they happen to be a race other than white then that’s all good, but bubba isn’t the next big nascar superstar. If your looking for a budget driver to get you through your first few years until you are able to take the next step he might be the guy.
It’s a new team so if this was anyone else I wouldn’t agree with you but Jordan can use his own assets to sponsor the team
Be careful. You're offending them
I don’t think anybody would be mad at a white owner in the nba signing all whites players. Nobody but their fans
😂😂😂Dude, Jordan's all about his money. The social excuse to diversify the sport is total BS. MICHAEL knows he can profit off blacks as the only NASCAR owner like he profits off blacks with his sneakers. This is a money move and nothing more. Hiring any driver of another race will not fit the narrative. He's trying to profit and not win.
Norlin black ain't that the way the nba started out all white no blacks an wasn't wort watching until blacks came into the league ask Bobby knight why he had black on his team. In Indiana he wanted to win
I think this is a great start.there’s so little diversity in nascar, that there needs more people from different racers.I’m proud of Jordan
@La Comay Dom literally every driver besides bubba is white and I think we got one from Mexico. Not sure why diversity triggers you
He should’ve done an F1 team that would’ve been lit
La Comay Dom Bubba is good enough to get to the Cup Series. You seem to forget 5’7 Nate Robinson would bake you in Basketball. Joey Gase would bake you in Nascar.
La Comay Dom Just admit your a racist bro😂 He’s been fairly consistent he’s way better than any XFINITY or Truck Series driver. Remember how Martin Truex Jr. was once like him? He also led around 10 laps at Talladega if I remember correctly and probably would’ve won if not top 5 if he hadn’t got shoved into the wall
Then why aren't more people joining? You say this like NASCAR is gonna force people of different races to join. If they wanted to join the NASCAR would be full of diversity by now.
Hi love your videos keep up the great work
Random fact The electric chair was invented by a dentist. -The Shades
I live in wilmington NC and where they showed it on the map is not where it is once you know the facts about what there talking about there's alot of things that catch my eye
If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.
I’m not a basketball fan, but have always admired Michael Jordan’s talent and ability to be a star and stay out of trouble. That being said...... Cry Baby Bubba Wallace ruined Petty racing and will do the same For Jordan. As for Denny Hamlin, he’s only there for the money, if the truth is told
He just won Talladega LMAO
@@whenisdinner2137 yes, a crash and rain out for the win ….. he’s on a roll now , lol 😂 Has anyone told him that someone put a confederate flag sticker under his seat???
“Great driving record” hahahahahahahahahah
Great video. Nice intro to MJ and his NASCAR team.
It’s a good thing Gibbs has a lot of cars,Michael and Denny are going to need them with Bubba Smullett behind the wheel.crashed in 17 races last year. Michael had a Superbike team for 10 years and only had one win in Superbike class,did a little better in Super sport class but pulled out do to sponsors backing out,if he thought motorcycle racing was expensive without sponsors due to lack of performance just wait until he is trying to get sponsors after a year of finishing an average of 25th because that’s what Bubba does.
They will be a sister team to gibbs..NASCAR has rules on how many cars drivers a team can have
Yeah, there was a Smullett moment. Bubba" into the Wall" ace.
Great video! ✌️
BUBBA SMOLLETT 2.0, ICON😂😂 HE CLIMBED FROM 30TH TO ABOUT 26OR27TH
I hope u get covid
@ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY PUNK he will
nice infomation, thanks for sharing,
So you do things because of your skin color??? Give me a break do what makes you inspirational. What makes you get up in the morning.
Absolutely would race for that man
Bubba Wallace is not an icon in this sport!
Sir, he is. He's out running his equipment. He's brought more young people into the sport.
@@LivDigsRacing his claim to fame is hes black. But hasn't accomplished nothing since hes been in the sport.
He's a race baiter
The title is 100% correct 150 million dollar team , what i find hilarious is Wallace thinking his 16 million in sponsorship actually meant something . He has NO CLUE !
@@warrenparker8282 1/2 black, look at his father
How is bubba wallace an icon?
In the blm community.
Micheal Jordan is my favorite basketball star
Unfortunately it won't last long with bubba as his driver, they'll have nice gibbs old cars with hamlin as a partner but they need a better driver, they'll get a few decent sponsors cause bubba's black but I give them 2 years before mj loses too much money and says good bye
I wish Jordan luck just because of the investment he is willing to make . I don't see how Micheal Jordan starting a team is going to change Nascar for the better though ? Partnering with JGR i have to wonder if Joe Gibbs has rocks in his head ? I have a feeling every car and on-track issue will be dealt with using the race card . I certainly hope not but after the noose circus one has to question it .
This deal is more about Denny, not Bubba. Wait and see if Denny will be in that car in 2022. Denny's trying to be like Tony Stewart--owner/driver. Needs all he can get to get himself into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. He's about as likeable as a pimple on one's behind!
@@nascar88gyrl I disagree completely. What's Black is Black what's white is white always has been always will be. Cuz people are just plain ignorant
When he started the bike team, he hired a buddy (black) from the local street riding scene to ride the bike. He was the best rider MJ had ever seen and was sure they’d win quickly. 1st race and his bike is nowhere near competitive and they spend two years trying to get their guy a decent finish before finally hiring an actual pro rider to get some results and dial in the bikes. Local guy, God Bless him, never got close to fast enough to hang consistently. I figured they’d fold WAY before they did, but they got some wins at the Superbike level and would have to be called a success overall at the end of the deal. Bubba won’t make it, but they’ll find somebody that can win and see how it goes.
Help me to understand please. If I`m white and a better driver with a way better record than Bubba I should get the job but I can`t because of my skin color right? I thought they were trying to eliminate racisms. Maybe they are the ones who should change.
He just set 150 mil on fire 🔥 it's hard to make money in nascar now
I think this is awesome Jordan is coming to nascar but he’s going to lose his ass with Wallace behind the wheel.
And using a Toyota, shameful.
He would be better off using stevie wonder( not a racist statement) just he’s a far better driver than bubba
Good luck Michael. Hope its successful for u and nascar
A 150 million team with a 2 dollar driver?
NASCARE IS FINISHED
I liked the vid before i watched, because the Title says, Michael Jordan 😃👍
I’m a huge fan of Jordan but his is going to be just like his nba team and never be a competitive race team. Bubba is a fool and a very limited talent.
Depends on Denny Hamlin. If his role is significant i can see 23XI getting some wins if MJ is willing to spend the money
@@patrickstump6809 Jordan isn't willing to spend the money. Just look at the Hornets
@@kingmugg1n hornets are a tax write off 🤣🤣😂 prob saves him 20m+
@@diabolivirtusen-tavares-ea4645 you maybe right.
He's won when he's in good equipment. RPM is a mid pack team AT BEST.
Doesn’t know the difference between Denny Hamlin and Matt DiBenedetto.
How does someone become an “up and coming icon”? That said, I am a huge fan of MJ and love to see him enter the sport. Also, I have a lot of respect for Denny, but their choice of driver, although I understand the motivation behind it, makes no sense. I truly believe MJ as always wants to win, just not sure Bubba can get him there.
99% of the people who watch nascar agree with ya
Lets hope this team is better than his golf career
So Bubba’s great driving record . Yea!! Okey . Glade he has deep pockets. He will need it.
Hope Jordon loses his ass i will laugh my ass off !
Uh, no wins right?
Yep they have screwed them selves with that driver. I mean was there no body in the lower series willing to take this job. Heck I bet you would have been better off with a arca driver
Damn Jordan needs to let me be his nascar driver
About time😎
Boa tarde congrats carro MJ 23 vai amém bom
Thanks a whole bunch! 😃👍
Go Mike! Peepin you from deep
Great video on the topic, glad you were able to get B-roll clips from my channel, appreciate the credit! 👍🏼
So he’s really not concerned about winning? According to his decision making. He just wants to own some fast cars.
After a successful investment you have nothing to worry about, weather the rise and fall of the economy or anything won't affect you. Make your future brighter by making good investments.
Crypto investment is the best one can think of now
@Matoe Elena Yeah you gotta see the favourable market rise in crypto

"They are watching you... but you are stronger, more powerful than you can imagine, they cannot harm you anymore... you are made of light, you are eternal" This came to my mind while meditating with this music... my heart rate was strong, I started to swing softly... like... vibrating? I don't know... just wanted to share... Love to everyone... specially YOU!
Screwy
Why don't you actually comment something relevant to the fucking video.
STP King Petty old school #43, Wendell Scott #34 terrors of the track.
At least they managed to get their first win. That's a bit of a one-up between 23XI and Trackhouse this year
Bubba has been in a car that only has the funding to run top25. He has overperformed the car, but it’s been inconsistent. He needs to perform next year if he will live up to the hype. I believe he’s developed enough to do so.
Can’t wait to see a NASCAR Jordan 4 Retro PE
It probably would be cool and awesome to meet him
How come it has to be about color of your skin Instead of a new nascar team Bubba will break them in wrecked cars
Wait I thought Hamlin was white.
@@elviscobb5922 Shhhh you're not supposed to provide facts that disprove their narrative
Wow Michael Jordan
This is a long way from your AMA DAYS
Now you know why mj is the goat in any sport specially basketball
He grew up around racing and loved it
I don't remember the last time I was this early
Same 😂
If I may quote Ol DW here " Racing can turn a big pile of money into a real small one , faster than ya think! I hope he hires the best , Gibbs has a heck of a lead on him..... God speed to them all tho.....
To the person reading this I hope you become successful.
Bruh
Me too. Thanks. You as well sstraanger.
He wont be around NASCAR in 5 years!
He is NOW and bringing a lot of positive attention to NASCAR.

@big dick No one ever implied that...
I wonder what kind of equipment they will be running?
*WOW*
It's good to finally see him on a Fox broadcast. I had hardly, if ever, seen him willing to be on the same network as The Simpsons and "Barkley is killing us" Space Jam actor Dan Castellaneta.
Jordan da goat on god brot
Support your local Dirt Tracks.
I MISS YOU AND KOERY YOUR LATE DAD WAS THEE BEST TO EVER WRENCH A RACE CAR
SUPPORT BOTH NASCAR AND LOCAL TRACKSD
@@billiebob123456 Thank you so very much. Yes, my father was the go too man for motors & cars. We both learned from one of the best out there. We know he's watching from above with all the other racers by his side.
@@simplywicked you should be proud you kept your family going during the rough times and how you always the glue you should be proud
Our local dirt track had spectator eliminator race’s at the end where you can bring out your personal car and race someone else for one lap. It’s awesome.
Ha! He was conned!!!
And got one of the worse drivers ever driving it......thought he liked winning???🤔🤔🤔
What type of crack are you on?
This is Great now Erik Jones gets a chance to put The King back in Victory Lane and Bubby will still finish 20th or worse one or more laps down as always
Klummps Kards do you know who quinn houf is?
Go Michael
You need to learn how to read a map and place the Wilmington pin on Wilmington.
Stop using "infamous" that word doesn't mean what you think it means
If it had a blue thin line paint Scheme on it I would
Congratulations 🤟🤙🤝🙏 peace
Hey Michael, do you know how to make a small fortune owning a race team?
All that I can advise you on is the fans are what the teams listen to maybe that's changed since covid
Hey mike nice I like Dern are Earnhardt Junior he was a good ass driver or Darrell Earnhardt he was great
Bubba wallace are you kidding me?!
U da best mannnn
With the availabla drivers to choose from, he chose bubba ,who hasnt won since truck series sounds like some racing racism
Jordan is cool and all. However has anyone watched the movie “Tenet” and care to explain it to me? 😂
This is how I can explain it.... 🤯🤯🤯
Time inversions and palindromes all day
Back to The Future on steroids lol
You have to say it backward three times then watch the last 37mins first then start from the beginning. Trust me.
@@LikeSpee Well said!!! 😂
Never been this early to any KZhead video 😂
He needs a couple set of good tires 😉
kFC racing would be a good name.
What if MJ starts investing in Cars though. Could you imagine buying a car with an MJ logo on there. That shit would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I would think. A more futuristic design, electric (figuratively and literally), with a Tesla like dash. Damn!!!
Hope Jordan coming into nascar can help boost it back into the popular eye like 15-20 years ago
How much money u got to have to own a Nascar team. Jordan living the dream
Or even yet ray evernham because he went from crew chief to team ownership be good and stay blessed
“INFAMOUS....Oh it means more than famous? “ So what do yo have against Daytona? And Wilmington is not right about here, it is on the coast and is well known for its beaches. I guess we will find out if Bubba is a good driver or not. He will not have an excuse that his equipment is not the same level as the top teams. That knife cuts both ways so I wish him well. Would be great for the sport if this team did well.
Good for him but who cares it’s nascar and its gone down the tubes to much wasted money 💰 won’t be long at it will be belly up
Are they going to give him the 23 car number? Figures..
To whoever sees this comment, have a great day and you will be great.
Thank you
You to
I guess he doesn't like his money as much as I thought🤣
Michele would be better of doing NHRA The NHRA fans are more diverse. Along with much more access to the pits and drivers more up close view of the cars
Ask Lewis Hamilton or Willy T Ribbs to be your drivers!
