Another One! – Music Sensation DJ Khaled Hints at Owning a NASCAR Team

Published 02/18/2024, 9:55 PM EST

Sadly, at the moment, the NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series drivers have nothing to do except twiddle their thumbs. This is because the heavy rain forecast threw a spanner in the works and jeopardized the schedule. Aside from the Cup and Xfinity races being postponed, many other events have been put on hold. Among them are the various celebrity appearances, which included Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and DJ Khaled.

Some sound advice for the NASCAR drivers

Recently, the rapper spoke to SiriusXM NASCAR Radio in Daytona. Khaled’s role was to be the honorary starter for the iconic race. Unfortunately, the presence of the rain has put that to a halt, and he confessed that he couldn’t wait until Monday. He told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, “The mindset of winning. You know. I love Gatorade. And I just did a beautiful collaboration with Gatorade. I was sitting there, and I was explaining to them.”

He further added, “The mindset of a winner is all in us’. When you watch your favorite race car driver or favorite basketball player like MJ, Or your favorite actor, mother, or father. Could be a doctor or musician. I think we all have the mindset of winning. That’s what it is about, winning. When I say ‘winning’, happiness, joy, family—that’s true success.”

Truthfully, this is great advice, that can not only apply in NASCAR, but in life as well. The Grammy Award winner was not the only musical presence, as rapper Pitbull was also slated to attend the Daytona 500. Granted, Pitbull has a more vested interest, since he owns a NASCAR Cup Series team, Trackhouse Racing.

Safe to say, Pitbull has opened the floodgates for the celebrities. This is because he is inspiring DJ Khaled to potentially take an interest in owning his own NASCAR team. Trackhouse Racing has been going from strength to strength in the last couple of years. Team co-owner Justin Marks has expanded to international waters, namely MotoGP.

Of course, one cannot expect DJ Khaled to achieve similar success, if he does manage to get a NASCAR team ownership. However, the sport is no stranger to celebrity owners. After all, Floyd Mayweather is the owner of The Money Team Racing. Additionally, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson almost became a NASCAR team owner, once upon a time.
