Triple Crown Champion and 1 of just 2 drivers in USAC history to ever win all 3 national titles in a single season — JJ Yeley — recently announced his plans to run the Daytona 500 with sponsorship from the HEX.com crypto community in partnership with Malco Enterprises, MBM Motorsports, and AXA Holdings.

Over $640,000 has been raised since the initial tweet:

A friend called me this week to ask if I knew of any company that would sponsor NASCAR teams. “I told her that I don’t know any companies, but that I do know a lot of people.”

Users of the blockchain’s first certificate of deposit — HEX.com — are building substantial wealth with its time deposit feature, called staking, returning an average 38% APY on top of underlying price performance. This has created thousands of millionaires by ensuring that these returns are consistent over 2020, 2021 and 2022. HEX boasts more than 77,000 registered users, with $12 billion in active stakes at the time of this writing.

HEX is driven by performance and JJ seems like the ideal pair. JJ stated this in a Twitter Spaces interview last week:

My entire life revolves around racing. In order to race and finish high school early, I was able to graduate from high school in the spring of 2008. JJ answered the question, “It’s competition.” This is my passion. This is my passion!
Iron makes iron sharper. Just like JJ broke records in USAC and HEX.com made records in cryptocurrency. With 24 USAC wins in the 2003 season, JJ broke the longstanding all time record of 19 set by AJ Foyt in ’61, later tied by Sleepy Tripp ’88 and Drake ’00. HEX also set new records, launching as a fully finished product that offers 100% uptime and a price performance that exceeds those of both launch and after.

While I appreciate all of the donations, OGs and OG’s for bringing out large amounts of money, it was the smaller men who touched my heart. These guys told me that they are new to the cause but would like to donate $100 or $200. To have brand new community members give up the opportunity cost to buy HEX and participate where they can — I don’t think you find this anywhere else.”

Last week’s interview closed with a positive sendoff:

“You’ve got the best community in crypto behind you — best of luck man!”
JJ wrote:

I’m excited! It’s been a few years since they’ve sold out this early — everyone is so stoked and excited about getting to Daytona and checking out the new car and seeing really what’s going to happen.”
