Jesse Iwuji has given Kyle Weatherman the keys to his #34 Chevrolet Camaro SS. On Thursday, his Jesse Iwuji Motorsports team announced Weatherman would take over the car for Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Richmond Raceway.
“Being a driver and owner comes with an option each weekend to be either a driver or owner,” began the team’s statement. “This weekend Jesse decided to build upon the opportunity generating system the Jesse Iwuji Motorsports ownership group has set out to develop by providing an opportunity for an additional driver to drive the #34 eRacing Association Chevrolet Camaro SS. On behalf of the entire ownership group at Jesse Iwuji Motorsports, we are excited to announce that we are giving this weekend’s opportunity to Kyle Weatherman at Richmond Raceway this Saturday, April 2.
“The fit was natural as Kyle loves to support our armed forces and law enforcement – having family members himself that have served. Kyle also has a great pedigree behind the wheel and tracks like Richmond suit his style.
“All of our brand partners supporting Jesse Iwuji Motorsports understand that this team represents so much to so many because great people uniting together can only strive to do great things. Diversity and inclusion is about bringing together all walks of life from all backgrounds, religions, cultures, races, and creeds – so we can become all that we were meant to be.
“As the back of our team uniforms says, One Team One Fight… or as Jesse says, United We Rise, but Divided We Fall, this team is here to fight and help inspire everyone’s best. Jesse Iwuji Motorsports is a team that plans to be involved in motorsports for a very long time. The time is now to make an impact on people’s lives and our mission.
