Michael Jordan will change NASCAR forever, says driver Jesse Iwuji.
's the highest-profile Black team owner in NASCAR history ... but driver... and that's super important for an organization that has historically lacked diversity within its ranks.-- a 33-year-old African American driver -- about the impact MJ's arrival will have on NASCAR.
"I think that was huge! Especially just with NASCAR looking to continue to expand diversity and really showcase to people around the world that, 'Hey NASCAR just isn't just a one-sided type sport," Iwuji says. Jesse continued ..."We include all. We're here for inclusion, we're all about making sure that it's an open environment so no matter what color you are, no matter what religion, gender it doesn't matter, NASCAR is open to everything. It's really cool to see that diversity come in."
Iwuji says he expects -- and has some inside insight -- that other minorities will be following MJ's lead, and entering the racing world. "I think here in the next 6 to 12 months, you're gonna see a few more minority owners come into the space. I'm just hearing some rumblings about some things and there's all these different things coming up so I think some more will be coming pretty soon."
