NASCAR 75: No. 42 in a series of 75 stories that helped define the first three quarters of a century of NASCAR.
NASCAR and celebrities have seemingly gone hand-in-hand over the years, each proving to be an attraction for the other.
But there is a certain group of celebrities who have taken things one step further: they’ve also become part- or full-team owners—and some have even gotten behind the wheel as drivers—in NASCAR, most notably the premier NASCAR Cup Series. Here’s a list of 12 celebrities—both present and past—who’ve put their money where their mouths have been and invested in team ownership or as drivers themselves. Some lasted only a short time, while others continue into 2023:The late comedic actor joined forces with longtime friend and noted Hollywood stuntman and producer/director Hal Needham to form Mach 1 Racing in NASCAR Cup in 1981.
It is uncertain whether TMT will be back in 2023. Grala has signed to race full-time in the Xfinity Series for Sam Hunt Racing in 2023, and it’s unclear whether Daly will attempt any more Cup races for Mayweather's group.The shock rock legend and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer grew up in Motor City before his family moved to the Phoenix area. But Cooper fell in love with two things growing up: music and racing.
The team expanded to two cars in 2022 with Kurt Busch. Tyler Reddick will replace Busch for the 2023 season as Busch has chosen to essentially semi-retire and will compete on a sparing basis due to the severe concussion he suffered in July 2022 that forced him to miss the remainder of the season. And rumors persist that if an extension isn’t reached in the coming months, Hamlin’s current contract with Joe Gibbs Racing and FedEx will end after the upcoming season.
