NFL Heartthrob Tom Brady Follows NBA Legend Michael Jordan’s Footsteps To Embark On Motorsport “Side Quest”

When you think about 7x NFL champion Tom Brady, you think about his cutting-edge and peak athletic performance. That being said, the arena of motorsport isn’t all that different. After dominating the sport of American football for over two decades, the 45-year-old will now embark on a new journey to take the world of motorsport by storm. Brady launched his apparel brand, simply dubbed ‘Brady Brand’ in January 2022. And now, as he hangs up his QB helmet, the NFL legend has taken a historic step towards securing a solid racing legacy.

Following the footsteps of 6x NBA champion Michael Jordan, Brady has decided to enter the domain of motorsport royalty. Jordan founded the 23XI NASCAR Cup Series team back in 2020, and with 92 races under its belt, the team is slowly creating a stronghold in the series. Be that as it may, Brady has now joined the club of elite sports stars who share an affinity and acumen for motor racing. It was announced earlier today that Brady will be partnering up with Jota Sport to officially etch his name on the bespoke Porsche 963 Hypercar for the 100th running of the 24hrs of Le Mans this year.

Brady himself was quoted as saying, “I have been a big fan of motor racing for a long time, and for BRADY™ to now be a part of Hertz Team JOTA as the future of motorsport apparel and design is an incredibly exciting opportunity.”
