\n CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2014 Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin are starting their own race car team and Bubba Wallace is their driver.<\/p>\n

Hamlin, a three-time Daytona 500 winner and top contender for this year\u2019s Cup title, made the announcement on social media<\/a>. The team will be a single-car Toyota entry aligned with Joe Gibbs Racing.<\/p>\n

\u201cEleven years ago I met Michael Jordan at a then-Charlotte Bobcats game<\/a> and we became fast friends,\u201d Hamlin wrote. \u201cNot long after, I joined Jordan Brand as their first NASCAR athlete. Our friendship has grown over the years and now we are ready to take it to the next level.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeciding on the driver was easy \u2014 it had to be Bubba Wallace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamlin said additional details would be forthcoming. Wallace is the only Black driver at NASCAR\u2019s top level.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrowing up in North Carolina, my parents would take my brothers, sisters and me to races, and I\u2019ve been a NASCAR fan my whole life,\u201d Jordan, the Charlotte Hornets owner, said in a statement. \u201cThe opportunity to own my own racing team in partnership with my friend, Denny Hamlin, and to have Bubba Wallace driving for us, is very exciting for me. Historically, NASCAR has struggled with diversity and there have been few Black owners. The timing seemed perfect as NASCAR is evolving and embracing social change more and more. In addition to the recent commitment and donations I have made to combat systemic racism, I see this as a chance to educate a new audience and open more opportunities for Black people in racing.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been speculation for months that Hamlin was organizing some sort of ownership group as he expects NASCAR\u2019s business model to become more favorable for team owners when the \u201cNext Gen\u201d car is released in 2022. NASCAR rules prohibit a current driver from owning a team and driving for another, but Hamlin works around the policy with Jordan as the primary owner.<\/p>\n

Jordan became a partial owner of the Bobcats in 2006 and bought the team outright in 2010, restoring the franchise to its original Hornets name. Hamlin has been a longtime season-ticket holder with courtside seats along the visitors\u2019 bench.<\/p>\n

Jordan has twice travel<\/a>ed to the NASCAR season finale to watch Hamlin race for the championship. Hamlin, who\u2019s 39, is still seeking his first title.<\/p>\n

Wallace, who has cobbled together about $18 million in sponsorship deals since he made social equality his platform, already said he\u2019d leave Richard Petty Motorsports at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I believe is a great fit for me at this point in my career,\u201d Wallace wrote in a social media post coordinated with Hamlin\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am grateful and humbled that they believe in me and I\u2019m super pumped to begin this adventure with them.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
