NASCAR racing team owner Brad Daugherty made history Sunday by becoming the first Black principal owner to win the Daytona 500 when driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won the storied race in double overtime
“America doesn’t just look like the people in the garage have looked like for 55 years,” Tad Geschickter – who owns JTG Daugherty Racing with his wife, Jodi Geschickter, and Daugherty – said in a press conference after the win. “It’s diverse and everyone has different points of view and different talents and treasures. “Brad certainly adds a different element to what we do and different thinking and a different background, and I think it’s the same from engineering to tire changers to drivers.
In Daugherty’s NBA days, the Cavaliers were haunted by a certain Chicago Bulls star named Michael Jordan, who is also famously now a NASCAR team owner himself. “I talked to him for a few minutes and he said that he and Michael Jordan are already talking trash,” fellow JTG Daugherty owner Jodi Geschickter said after the race to reporters. “I’m not sure what was said, but there have been conversations.
