“Pitbull is an iconic talent in the music industry and has tremendous passion for NASCAR racing. We look forward to working with him to further engage diverse audiences and introduce new fans to our great sport,” NASCAR said in their statement.

The presence of Pitbull and Jordan adds so much star power to the sport. Additionally, there is a strong possibility of another sporting great in Floyd Mayweather entering the team ownership scenario very soon.

This is not the first time Pitbull has shown his affection towards NASCAR. In 2020, Pitbull also performed in a special music video ahead of the Xfinity and Cup Series season finales.

NASCAR is a culture, says Pitbull

Speaking about his new role, Pitbull went on to call NASCAR not just a sport, but a culture.

“As soon as I met Justin, Ty Norris (team president), and Daniel, we were on the same page. They welcomed me aboard, and now we’re going to show the world NASCAR is not only a sport but it’s a culture,” he expressed.

Pitbull also intends to attend the 2021 season opener – the iconic Daytona 500 next month. If Jordan also makes it there to support Bubba Wallace, NASCAR fans will be in for a memorable day.
