The $550 Million boxing legend, Floyd Mayweather‘s The Money Team Racing, TMT Racing, is gearing up for an exciting chapter under the guidance of teacher-turned-owner Becky Auchmoody and her husband Willy Auchmoody. This dynamic duo manages the No. 50 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in the NASCAR Cup Series, and their journey epitomizes the fusion of passion and perseverance.

The emerging racing team, adopting the iconic No:50 car numbers linked to Floyd Mayweather’s flawless 50-0 boxing record, aligns with the lifestyle brand “TMT.” Strategizing ahead, TMT Racing targets participation in 5-8 races in 2024, envisioning a full-time presence by 2025, regardless of charter availability.

TMT Racing, a modest yet ambitious mom-and-pop operation, has already left its mark by qualifying for the prestigious Daytona 500 not once, but twice. As quoted by Forbes, Auchmoody said;

We don’t have a huge facility. It’s very humbling because we’ve had so many people support us.

Becky, juggling her roles as a first-grade teacher in Upstate New York and the driving force behind TMT Racing, exemplifies resilience. She seamlessly transitions from the classroom to the race track, echoing Mayweather’s sentiment that’

Every race is a learning experience for us. Every time we hit the track, we want to put forward the best effort we can.

Mayweather’s involvement goes beyond the glamour of the racing world. Recognizing Becky’s pivotal role, he stated, “Her involvement is great for NASCAR and the empowerment of women in sports.” The genesis of their collaboration dates back to 2019 when Willy Auchmoody presented Mayweather with a unique opportunity, emphasizing minimal expenses and leveraging Mayweather’s fame.
