No, Michael Jordan isn’t going to drive the car. He won’t fix it either. His Airness will be a principal owner of a new NASCAR team though, one with the kind of backing that can win races and championships, and for that, there is no way to minimize the impact on the sport itself.
This is big for a racing circuit that needed something big, good news for a business that is desperate for it, a shot of adrenaline for a place that for too long has been bleeding out fans, television ratings and sponsors.
