IndyCar star Conor Daly will be repping Floyd Mayweather‘s Money Team Racing when he hits the NASCAR pavement later this month — joining the boxing legend’s squad in hopes of qualifying for the Daytona 500.
TMT Racing announced the big news Tuesday morning … saying Daly will be behind the wheel for their #50 car when he competes for one of the four open spots in the race.
Floyd spoke about Conor’s return to TMT … saying, “The Money Team Racing shocked the world by making the Daytona 500 last year and I believe in this team and know we will prepare a great car for this year’s race.”
On top of Daytona, Daly will suit up for TMT in up to six more NASCAR events this year, while competing full-time in the IndyCar series.
“Like a fighter who’s always ready to face the best, Conor has the courage to buckle into this beast without any practice and put that car into the field,” Floyd continued. “Conor is like a hungry fighter and my kind of guy. I sure wouldn’t bet against him.”
Daly has a bit of experience in NASCAR … but he’ll be going up against some stiff competition — action sports superstar Travis Pastrana and 7-time champ Jimmy Johnson are among at least five other drivers hoping to make the cut.
