Mayweather took to Twitter to officially announce his new venture into motosport, with a video of the dazzling multi-coloured car being unveiled, captioning the post: "TMT AT THE DAYTONA 500 2022!!!!"
Mayweather is not the only celebrity to become a NASCAR team owner, following the footsteps of fellow sports stars Michael Jordan, LeBron James and chart-topping musician Pitbull.
The 15-time boxing champion said in a news release:
"I love fast cars and I love to compete. I know NASCAR will not be easy, but anything easy isn’t worth doing to me."
"With that being said, this move into auto racing seems to be a perfect fit for the Mayweather brand."

The General Manager for Mayweather's team is William Auchmoody, who personally advised the legendary boxer to get into the sport.
Auchmoody said:
"He [Mayweather] loves cars. I met him a couple of years ago and had the conversation, 'Man, you should check NASCAR out'.
"He started watching it a little bit and next thing you know, I'm in Las Vegas and were hashing out the details of what it would look like to get involved in NASCAR."
