In recent news, 23XI Racing‘s billionaire investor, Curtin Polk, who also happens to be Charlotte Hornets’ Managing Partner, revealed some information. According to the supporter of both of Jordan’s sporting team ventures, NASCAR earns 93% of its value from the league and tracks. While a remaining mere 7% comes from all the teams’ combined value. As reported by Sports Business Journal Author, Adam Stern.

This very value split alone is quite shocking, especially the fact that the investor claims all 36 teams only account for 7% of the value. So, just how rich is NASCAR? Interestingly enough, the sport replied to this claim in less than 24 hours. And they sure didn’t hold back.

Starn reported, .@NASCAR feels that the 93-7 value split claimed by the teams is “misleading and disingenuous” because teams are only counting charter values, per a source familiar.”

While that could be a possibility, we are still unsure about the actual value split. So, both Polk, and NASCAR’s statements float on a bed of doubt. Because there are no concrete numbers to back either of the claims. But the fans sure have formed their allegiance with Jordan’s sponsor, as they believe it could be true.
