Hamlin announced the new collaboration for the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series via Twitter on Monday. He wrote that he and Jordan, a friend of 11 years, are ready to take their partnership “to the next level” by creating a new NASCAR team fronted by Wallace, NASCAR’s only full-time Black driver.
“Deciding on a driver was easy – it had to be Bubba Wallace,” he wrote. “Bubba has shown tremendous improvement since joining the Cup Series and we believe he’s ready to take his career to a higher level.” The veteran NASCAR driver went on to laud Wallace for his work both on and off the track, noting that “he has been a loud voice for change in our sport and our country.”
Wallace responded to Hamlin’s tweet with his own writing, “This is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I believe is a great fit for me at this point in my career. I’m grateful and humbled that they believe in me and I’m super pumped to begin this adventure with them.”.

I’m grateful and humbled that they believe in me and I’m super pumped to begin this adventure with them.
