The millionaire Youtuber, Influencer, and Entrepreneur MrBeast is one of the biggest names in the online content creation scene. His brilliant business mind and an ever-present urge to explore brand-new avenues have made him what he is today.

Not just YouTube, MrBeast also has many other ventures under his wings where he has excelled phenomenally. His retail chocolate brand, Featstables, and fast-food Chain Beast Burgers are a few of the many examples.

But there is a question that still lingers. Why doesn’t MrBeast sponsor a NASCAR team? The sport is a huge avenue and it can be very impactful when it comes to raising brand awareness. Even other YouTubers such as Logan Paul and KSI have recently decided to sponsor a NASCAR team for their sports energy drink Prime Hydration. 

The answer to it is not as simple as one can expect because MrBeast has technically sponsored a NASCAR team back in 2019. But it is much more complex than it sounds. 

Did MrBeast ever sponsor a NASCAR team? 

Apparently, MrBeast had sponsored a team back in 2019, at the truck series race in Las Vegas. It was during his initial climb to fame when he had around 15 million subscribers and he was promoting the “Subscribe to Pewdiepie” movement in the Pewdiepie Vs T-Series era. 

He had sponsored the car driven by josh Reaume under the organization of Reaume Brothers racing. Back then, MrBeast wasn’t a household name like today. Though he wasn’t small by any means, he had a following of 15 Million subscribers. But still, for a YouTuber to sponsor a NASCAR team was still unheard of. 

So this means Jimmy Donaldson aka MrBeast has sponsored a NASCAR team? Right? The answer is actually no. Because though MrBeast had sponsored the team initially, he backed off at the last minute. There are no solid answers as to why Jimmy pulled out his sponsorship, but to this day he hasn’t tried to sponsor another NASCAR team or even shown an interest in doing it. 

So what happened next?

After MrBeast we didn’t get to see many YouTubers sponsor a NASCAR team until Eric Estepp. Eric is an avid NASCAR fan who has a dedicated channel for everything NASCAR-related. Back in 2021, eric made his dream come true after and sponsored a NASCAR Team. 

He made a heartfelt video, where he expressed how happy he was to see his logo in a NASCAR car. Being a fan from the age of 6 this was everything he could have wanted. But MrBeast has made one of his dreams come true. And that is completely unrelated to NASCAR.

MrBeast has expressed on multiple occasions that he is an avid League of Legends fan. In the Finals of Worlds 2022, the League featured Jimmy as the Special Guest during the broadcast.
