CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NTT IndyCar Series driver Conor Daly will be at the wheel with sponsorship from BitNile Holdings when boxing legend Floyd Mayweather’s The Money Team Racing makes its NASCAR Cup Series debut Oct. 9 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL.
“I’m thrilled to continue to see the growth of The Money Team Racing with our new driver Conor Daly and sponsor BitNile,” said Mayweather. “We’ve come a long way in a short amount of time and I know that the future is very bright for us. With hard work and dedication, we’re going to continue to climb the ladder in this sport. This is an exciting step and I can’t wait to see what’s next.”
Mayweather’s latest sports venture outside of the ring will add a diverse racecar driver in Daly, who brings plenty of road course experience behind the wheel. Most recently, Daly had his most impressive race yet, finishing sixth in the prestigious Indianapolis 500.
“Making my Cup Series debut has been a dream of mine. I grew up in the open wheel racing world, but have always been a NASCAR fan,” Daly exclaimed. “This is an incredible opportunity and I wouldn’t be here without the generous support of BitNile. Everyone who has supported me in the IndyCar Series is now giving me an opportunity to expand my horizons in the Cup Series. I can’t wait to race against all of the incredible drivers in the field.”
The Boxing Hall of Famer will also be debuting his race team’s newest sponsor, BitNile Holdings, Inc., who will be involved in NASCAR for the first time. BitNile recently broke into racing with a multi-year deal being a primary sponsor for Daly in the IndyCar Series.
BitNile is a diversified holding company specializing in disruptive technologies, including cryptocurrencies and innovations in the field of decentralized finance. BitNile focuses on large-scale Bitcoin mining and is developing a new Bitcoin marketplace platform.
