Having a celebrity riding shotgun with a NASCAR driver would be a spectacle we’d all love to see. Luckily, William Byron has someone in mind who he’d want to ride along. As he chose Tom Brady or Michael Jordan, there’s a very special reason for his choice.
Riding shogun with a driver grants the person the privilege to access the in-car camera and speak with the driver over the radio. Moreover, you can see exactly what the driver is doing in the car, essentially riding along with the driver. So, what made Byron wanna pick one of those two?
In a recent interview with WFLA News Channel 8, Byron was asked which celebrity he’d want to ride shotgun with.

And he didn’t think twice as he answered, “It’s probably gonna be like Michael Jordan or Tom Brady,”
But he has a good reason for it as he added, “Because I feel like they’ll motivate me and get me to the finish line.”
That’s a pretty good reason, especially considering the success of these Athletes in their sports. While Jordan dominated the court in the #23 Jersey for the Bulls, Brady continues to be NFL’s favorite player, being a 7-time Super Bowl champion.
So, would you like to see one of these athletes supporting the Hendrick driver on his Cup Series journey?
