Recently, a reputed journalist revealed the “impressive” sponsor money the Jordan and Denny Hamlin co-owned team was pulling this year. Considering it has only been three years since the Bubba Wallace starrer team stepped into the sport, things look pretty good from the finance side of things.

The season opener saw Wallace in good form. However, a wreck ruined his day. Not just that, but the Daytona 500 did not end well for him and his team. Even the team’s new promising candidate, Tyler Reddick, found himself in the middle of a major wreck. But once again, that was just the Daytona 500. There is an entire season’s worth of racing ahead. We hope that with all these funds being injected into the team, they can propel themselves into some degree of success.
