Legendary Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s NASCAR outfit, The Money-Team Racing, has announced its entry into the 2023 Daytona 500 and 5 other races. IndyCar star Conor Daly will drive the Noi:50 Chevy this season. He will compete to secure the 4 slots left for open charters against the likes of Jimmie Johnson and Zane smith.

The Money Team Racing was formed in 2021 by Mayweather, NASCAR executive Willy Auchmoody, and ONE Entertainment CEO Brent Johnson. The team made its debut in the 2022 Daytona 500 with Kaz Grala. They qualified for the Great American Race, but the car wasn’t on par with the rest of the field and had a poor finish.

Going into the 2023 season, the team has a better understanding and more experienced leadership for progress. With Conor Daly behind the wheel, Floyd Mayweather is confident about the team’s chances of starting in the main event and producing a better result.

“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. 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. Conor is like a hungry fighter and my kind of guy. I sure wouldn’t bet against him,” Floyd Mayweather Jr. said.

Conor Daly made his NASCAR debut last season with the team at ROVAL. He scored a P34 and had a poor run as he struggled to understand the car fully, and the mechanical trouble the Chevy had also didn’t help them. But the former 1 and CART star Derek Daly’s son hopes to score better finishes starting at Daytona.

“I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to attempt to run in the Daytona 500. It is the most prestigious race in NASCAR, and to have the chance to compete in it is truly an honor. I am also excited to be running the entire IndyCar Series season and select NASCAR Cup events,” Conor Daly said.

“I am looking forward to the challenge and can’t wait to get behind the wheel of whatever BITNILE.com race car, boat, dune buggy, or vehicle they ask me to drive. Bring it on,”. Daly added.
